    Instead of worrying about what enters the head and heart of the student, you are worried about what is on their head. SMH

      @@franciskofiannan5376 Not sure what it will be, but I won't deal in hypotheticals. When such a situation presents itself, then we deal with it. Trust me, if this Rastafarian's hairstyle presents a valid health risk, we won't be talking about religious freedom. Most of this fear is born out of fear of 'opening the floodgates.' Culture is dynamic and as things change, we will answer those questions. Then again public schools are to serve all members of the public, regardless of creed or race or belief.

    My Ghanaians, they are called locs, not dreadlocks...Anyways, I wonder how teachers and staff would respond to a ban on wigs and weaves? How would they feel if the courts ruled against the use of unnatural hair. Can they claim religion or is it fashion? We need to level up- there is no need to deny our sons an education just because you judge their hair from a Eurocentric standpoint.

    Why should your hairstyle determine admission to a school. That’s just madness. There are more serious issues to tackle. Allow them further their education. Stop that nonsense Achimota School.

      @Mike J School rules and regulations cannot supersede the 1992 constitution. You are sighting Jamaica as an example forgetting that nine of supreme courts in Kenya and other countries who ruled in favor of dreaklocks. And as for those same rules why do they only apply to dark brown people, the moment you look like peach or milk they allow you to keep your natural hair under a frivolous argument that it would make them look ugly.

      @Mike J natural hair shouldn’t be under rules and regulations, behavior of student is what’s important. Hair style don’t change anything. Schools authorities can make a rule for girls to have cornrows to bring uniformity in school. Girls cut their hair, but most SHS girls misbehave in school.

      The issue with Jamaica did not bode well for the Girl because there was an outbreak of lice and also the hair was with no respect to religion but preference.

    Instead of focusing on the mind, they focus on hair styles. And yet they want to move ahead as far education. These teachers are stuck in the past and what they even teaching now has little application in the new work force

      Ghana must be careful. It seems the tenet on which Ghana as a country was built on is being eroded. Our leaders must make a research on the British education policy and learn from it because most of our constitution is tailored to them as our colonial masters. Ghanaian leaders be careful!
