The Board of Governors of the Achimota School has disagreed with a ruling of a Human Rights Court ordering them to immediately admit two Rastafarian students that the school rejected on the grounds of keeping their dreadlocks for religious reasons.
According to the school, they disagree with the ruling of the court and has since instructed their lawyers to file an appeal.
The Human Rights Court 1 Division of the High Court yesterday, Monday, May 31, 2021, ordered Achimota School to admit Oheneba Nkrabea and Tyrone Marhguy the dreadlock-wearing Rastafarian students into the school.
The presiding judge Justice Gifty Adjei Addo held that failure to admit the student because of his dreadlock-which is a manifestation of his religious right- was a violation of his human right, right to education and dignity.
She also instructed the school to admit Nkrebea saying the failure of the school to admit him was a violation of his dignity and right to education.
But the school says it has instructed the lawyers to file an appeal against the ruling.
