The Anglican Church of Ghana, has called on the government to close down basic schools from Kindergarten to primary six(6). According to the the Anglican church most of the children in the kindergarten to class six(6) are more vulnerable. These pupils engage in a lot of playing activities in school.

These kids are at risk, government should close down the basic schools.
