One of the students who became the centre of school admission controversy back in 2021, Tyrone Iras Marhguy, has excelled in the just-ended West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The Achimota School science student scored 8 As in the 2023 edition of the examination.
A video shared on social media showed the Rastafarian in the company of others huddling around a computer to check his results after WAEC released it nationwide.

After the results came up, they burst out in excitement at the excellent score.
Tyrone Marhguy was one of two boys who cried foul because Achimota school had denied them admission, citing their hairstyle as a violation of the school’s code of conduct.
The Rastafarian students dragged the Achimota School Board of Governors, the Minister of Education, the Ghana Education Service, and the Attorney General to court for refusing to enroll them. Achimota School insisted that they comply with the school’s regulations by shaving their dreadlocks.

However, his colleague, Oheneba Kwaku Nkrabea, enrolled at Ghana International School on a scholarship.
In June 2021, following the court ruling, Tyrone Marhguy went to Achimota School and sat for his end-of-term examination just hours after being enrolled.
