The Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed the management of the Wesley Girls Senior High School to allow Muslim students to fast.
The directive comes after the school prevented students from fasting as required of Muslims.
The school had argued that fasting done by students had had health implications on them hence took a decision not to allow it in the school.
The issue generated heated reactions from the Muslim community where the Chief Imam Sheikh Nuhu Shaributu expressed his displeasure about the incident
The statement from the GES affirmed the reasons given by the school but has directed them to allow the Muslim students to fast.
The Service has also asked parents who want their wards to fast to write officially to the school.
