A former Executive Director of the Danquah Institute, Gabby Otchere-Darko, has said the refusal of the Achimota School authorities to admit a student with dreadlocks amounts to perverse backwardness.
He has therefore commended the Ghana Education Service (GES) for directing the school authorities to admit the students.
In a tweet, the leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) said “This day and age, a school in Africa will not admit a boy because he is a Rastafarian and wears his hair in that natural form. Call it perverse backwardness. Thank you, GES!”

May I ask please, what harm does it cause a school from admitting students because of their hair style as Rastafarians? ????
