President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers, NAGRAT, Angel Carbonu, says the ruling by an Accra High Court ordering Achimota School to enroll the two Rastafarian students will encourage other students to wear all manner of hairstyles.
He said the ruling will grant individuals the opportunity to hold their religious activities superior to the school rules which are meant to foster teaching and learning.
Speaking in an interview Mr. Carbonu said the exemption made would not just be limited to Rastafarian students but to all who believe being asked to trim their hair would contradict their religious beliefs and teachings.

Cannot agree more with what the NAGRAT President has said.
Discipline and comportment in our second cycle schools will be seriously compromised.
I weep for good moral and ethical education in Ghana, all in the name of “shambolic human rights.”
There are rules and regulations as well as code of conduct in all established institutions, be it public or private.
And that is why Judges and Lawyers are required to wear designated costumes to court.
Nothing more, nothing less!!!!
