I had a similar experience with my daughter in a Presbyterian school a few years ago. She wrote the entrance exam and was admitted in class 4; we bought all school items, uniforms and paid full term fees, only for her to be forced to cut her natural hair. It was a custom in the school which I had never encountered in any other schools, and frankly did not even take note of since no prospectus or school rules included it ( and oh they had many rules and a written code of conduct which was totally silence about it). Two other half cast girls were wearing their hair. When we challenged that, the two girls were forced to cut their hair 🥺 and I felt so sad for them (one was in her final JHS year and had been there for at least 5 years). To cut a long story short, we had to change school for my daughter. We stood our ground for her to finish the term but we saw how traumatizing the experience was for her. She was bullied by students and teachers alike. We eventually changed school and she is happily progressing academically. We raised the issue at PTA and many parents were against the practice but no one dared to lift a finger as the head of the school happily reminded everyone of their « privilege to be admitted in the GREAT school in the first place and that many were on the waiting list to be admitted». It is a very odd practice and imposing it to some children literally ruin their self esteem and confidence. An option must be given to those who want to keep their hair to do so under clear rules. Well when we continue in this culture of silence, demain n’est pas la veille!

What is next if schools, in this case Achimota, allow changes to school regulations that have been in place and has worked for the discipline and uniformity of students in Ghana's schools? During my time at St. Peter's in the 70s, the school had many of the children of the military rulers, but none had preferential treatment simply because of who their fathers were. Schools must insist on their regulations to stop the creeping in of changes that would one day, destroy the sanctity of the discipline and uniformity of students in Ghana schools. This is not about discriminating against anyone, but about ensuring all students adhere to the same standards! Allowing exemptions is to invite all kinds of demands. Imagine a student claiming his/her believes allow them to only clad their waist, but expose other parts of their body. Should the school admit such student simply because they are straight A student? Schools must not allow this slippery slope, else our schools would lose the discipline and equality that has made Ghana schools unique!

We cannot give up our hair which will grow back, to enable us to gain admission into one of the most prestigious institutions in this country for higher education but we think it is the school stopping us. I blame the parents of these kids. Give the kids a chance for a haircut. Maybe they will like it.

This school has been in existence for st least 100 years with excellent academic culture and discipline. The policies which majority of people on this platform are complaining about have been in existence since the establishment of the school and these policies define Achimota, so, to suggest that an exception be granted to this student is very ridiculous. He should have familiarized himself with the school's disciplinary codes before he applied. Who does he think he is to tell the School's management to drop the guiding principles and policies just for him? If he cannot cannot get rid of his hair then he should go elsewhere. Majority of us black people do not like order in society and that's why we find ourselves in shantytowns and ghetto's everywhere we go. The authorities at Achimota should stand their ground. Once you make an exception to one person, we shall be setting up the school for failure and lower its standard. His parents cannot dictate to Achimota how the school should be run. There are several schools in Ghana so he can go elsewhere. If the parents value his rastafarian lifestyle more than anything else, then he should be schooled at home. The media should stop giving platform to such lawless behavior. Do you know how many other students have been rejected to other high profile school's for various reasons? Disgusting!

I am an African American and my husband is from Ghana, I just asked my husband, "Why is it that the Ghanaian judges still wear the "STUPID LOOKING " white wigs from Great Brittan? MAKING THEM LOOK LIKE THEY ARE STILL COLONIZED!" and these young men can't wear natural locks! If Ghana really wants the diaspora to come and help build the country they need to throw out these old rules! The head mistress needs to come to Atlanta Ga and see thousands if not millions of Black successful people, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, teachers, millionaires, with NATURAL hair, dreadlocks, afros, Natural Braids ext.!!! It's our true cultural it dates back to Ancient Egypt "Kemet" It is time for Black people all over the world to wake up. but especially in Africa!!!! The Mother Land!

We will still suffer saaaa down here in Ghana, you are denying someone access to education because of hairstyle, ain’t it stupidity? I am happy GES has finally asked the school authorities to give these innocent boys admission. Achimota is a big school, but not bigger than Ghana’s constitution....👌👌👌

In as much as I acknowledge this student's ability, this is an institution built on strong foundations. We had issues of people also cutting their hair to enter into school, what about their discrimination. This cutting of hair has been present since and most have been discriminated against, so where from all this sensitivity.

I have the comments and i really agree with all that is being said...in Australia, there are a group of people who don't believe in 'civilization ' hence, they wear no clothes or whatsoever, i hope that oneday, when they visit us naked, they will not be discrimated...i hated to cut my hair with all my heart while in school, i forged reports but it didn't work, i cut my hair..the irony is that,now in the university where i have my freedom, i have cut my hair twice...Let's remember that what is good for the geese is good for the gander, hope oneday we don't badmouth students who want to practice other cults in the schools too, occults and so called unrecognized religions do have rights too...i hope in a haste to solve a problem, we don't cause other 1000 problems.....stay blessed

Very interesting discussion here. I do understand both sides and I believe there can be a productive dialogue between both parties involved. My question is, was there a written protocol for a student's appearance? If yes, I side with the school if not, I side with the family. Yes, one's hairstyle does not determine their academic success, but I think locks are allowed in the military when we all know that one's ability to serve in the military does not depend on their hairstyle. Will the backlash against the school be the same when if another student decides to wear a traditional Ghanaian attire to school with the argument that his clothes will not define his academic success? There is a reason why the word 'uniform' is used; for all to look and appear the same. Once we start bending the rules, things can quickly go astray. This is just the way I see things. I do feel for this young man's frustration.
