General News of Tuesday, 13 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comAchimota School has come under new fire from a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Ghana who is accusing the school of being a factory for miseducation. According to him, the refusal of Achimota School to admit students with dreadlocks showed how as Africans: “we denigrate our own but treat white people differently”. “The same people who went to this school and are taught to worship an imaginary white man – if that exact same imaginary white man came there and said, ‘I want to go to school,’ would they ask this imaginary white man that they pray to every Sunday, ‘You have to cut this bushy hair that you have? That’s going to give them miseducation and anti-education,” he added. Authorities at Achimota School insisted that some first-year students cut off their dreadlocks before they would be granted admission to the school, citing their internal regulations and standards.
