Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, a.k.a Kwaku Azar, has admonished Ghanaians to fear the Ghana Education Service due to their changing voices in the Achimota Secondary School dreadlocks controversy. The GES on Saturday instructed authorities of the Achimota School in Accra to admit the two first-year students it had rejected because they wore dreadlocks.
The directive followed the massive debate on social media after reports that the school had refused to admit the children although the GES had through its selection system offered them the school. Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, Director-General of GES told the Daily Graphic in reference to one of the students: “We have asked her to admit the students.
So, you cannot say that you will not admit someone on the basis of the person’s religious beliefs and so, we have asked the head to allow the children to be in the school.” But the GES on Monday, 22 March, backtracked on their earlier directive.
