The Attorney General and Achimota School have filed an appeal for the court to rescind its decision for the school to admit two students wearing dreadlocks.

Tyrone Marhguy and Oheneba Kwaku Nkrabea dragged the school to court when it refused to grant them admission because of their dreads.

The court held that the Attorney-General failed to provide a legal justification as to why the rights of the two Rastafarian students to education should be limited on the basis of their dreadlocks.

But in its appeal, Achimota School and the Attorney-General’s office said the court among others erred by indicating that the rules and regulations of Achimota School with regard to ensuring uniformity in appearance is unlawful and interferes with the manifestation of one’s religious rights.

The school is, thus, praying the Appeals Court to set the entire judgment that orders it to admit the student aside.

The school also want the court to force the students to comply with the school rules and regulation if they want to continue schooling at the institution.

The Attorney-General also want the court to grant Achimota school’s request.
