One of the two Rastafarian students, Oheneba Nkrabea, denied admission to Achimota School over his dreadlocks, has graduated from Ghana International School (GIS).

In March 2021, Nkrabea and fellow student Tyron Marhguy were initially blocked from enrolling at Achimota due to the school’s strict hair policy, which they maintained was a vital expression of their Rastafarian faith.

The Ghana Education Service first directed the school to admit them, only to backtrack under pressure.

The school’s position triggered public uproar and a legal battle. The Accra High Court stepped in on May 31, 2021, ruling that the denial of admission violated their constitutional rights to religious freedom, dignity, and education.

While the legal dispute continued with Achimota School filing an appeal, Oheneba was awarded a scholarship to GIS through the Article 17 Education Trust.

The fund, set up by GIS alumnus William Hackman and four other parents, seeks to promote access and equality in education.

At the school’s recent graduation ceremony, GIS CEO Dr. Mary Asabea Ashun celebrated Nkrabea’s success as a testament to perseverance and progressive thinking.

“We have watched this young man grow, and we have been so privileged to be a part of his story here at GIS. Oheneba for four years has been part of GIS. Congratulations, Oheneba,” she said.

Dr. Ashun described the decision to admit Oheneba as “wise and forward-thinking,” adding that the school remains committed to championing inclusion and access for all students.
