It could be Mohegan or any kind of hair even Achormo, you could make your daughter wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201d And I will advise all our members to not waste their time in attempting to ask why the child is wearing that kind of hair. My understanding is that it is an open situation let us abide by it and enjoy the ramification\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impasse between the students and the school has been ongoing since March 19 during which the two students have not been able to start academic work with their colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were placed at the school through the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) having satisfied the entry requirement by creditably passing their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyrone Iras Marhguy\u2019s results were attached to the lawsuit to emphasise his academic competence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school had asked the parents to cut off their wards\u2019 hair or find another school for them. Though the Ghana Education Student initially directed Achimota School to admit the students, it backtracked after pushback from the school\u2019s stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In defence of the school\u2019s decision, the Achimota School PTA said its revised rules and regulations from August 2020 indicate that students must keep their hair low, simple and natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Ghana\/Starrfm.com.gh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Angel Cabornu, says parents are now free to make their children wear any kind of hairstyle to secondary schools in the country.
