GES has rescinded its decision to allow two dreadlocked students to be enrolled at Achimota Senior High School days after the office ordered the school to admit the students.
According to Ras Tetteh Wayo, the lawyer of the Rastafarian council of Ghana, the Ghana Education Service is now against the student and their admission into the school. According to him, the institution has sided with the school and directed them not to admit the dreadlocked students.

He claims GES gave the first directive to calm the storm after the news first broke out that they had been denied admission into the school.
There was a meeting today at GES office between the parents of the students and the headmistress of Achimota and after the meeting, they told the parents to cut off the dreadlocks of their wards before they will be admitted.
But for these children, Rastafar I is their religion and their dreadlock symbolizes that and I don’t know why they will discriminate because of their religion”
