General News of Monday, 29 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum has noted that the Ghana Education Service (GES) has not backtracked on its directive to Achimota School regarding the enrollment of two Rastafarian students. But what I will tell you is that the Chief Director of the Education Ministry together with the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, the parents and the headmistress have been in meetings. Achimota School denied admission to two Rastafarian students over their refusal to trim their dreadlocks. The school authorities justified the move by saying it was against the rules of the school to admit students with dreadlocks. In an earlier directive by the GES, Director-General Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa said the authorities of Achimota School could not refuse to admit the two students but the headmistress refused to heed the directive.
