Despite reports that the Ghana Education Service (GES) has intervened in the situation, the family of one of the Rastafarian boys has stated that legal action is still on the table.
The GES has ordered Achimota School to admit the two Rastafarian boys who were denied admission, sparking widespread debate and outrage.
Raswad Nkrabea, the father of one of the boys facing discrimination, Tyrone Iras Marhguy, says he is waiting for a formal response to validate the situation.
“We haven’t received an official response from the school or the GES, so it’s critical that we remain steadfast and alert in terms of what’s going on,” he told Citi News.
“Our lawyer is standing by to do whatever is necessary because we told the school we were going to file a class-action lawsuit, which is still on the table if they decide to be adamant and restrict the liberty of these students.”

Accordingly, the parents of the two Rastafarian boys intend to seek clarification from the GES.
Raswad Nkrabea would also like to see the decision to accept dreadlocked students in public Senior High Schools (SHS) extended to all schools.
“We don’t want a situation where it only applies to one school, like Achimota, and then you find this happening in Kumasi next year or somewhere else.” “We want to ensure that the legal processes are properly followed,” he said.
