When the story broke out in March this year, it triggered a lot of public discourse on the need for a national guideline for senior high schools. The case eventually ended up in court after the two students, Nana Kwaku Nkrabea and Tyron Marhguy, each filed cases on the matter. The two were both denied admission into the Achimota School although they had qualified and were duly placed there through the computerized school selection and placement system. That, however was not enough for the School to simply admit them after it argued that it does not admit students wearing dreadlocks. It is expected that today’s ruling on the matter will bring finality to the unrest and the confusion that has characterized the case, as well as help shape any policy in that respect, for the future.
