Achimota School has served notice that it will appeal the recent High Court decision ordering it to admit the two Rastafarian boys, Tyrone Marhguy and Oheneba Nkrabea.
The school board stated that it disagrees with the ruling of the Court and will appeal against it.
“The court ruled that the religious rights of the two applicants had been violated by the School Management as they sought to enforce the time-tested and well-known rules of the School. The Court further directed the School to admit the two applicants. The school Board disagrees with the ruling of the Court” excerpts of the statement said.
The impasse between the students and the school has been ongoing since March 19 during which the two students have not been able to start academic work with their colleagues.
Tyrone Iras Marhguy’s results were attached to the lawsuit to emphasize his academic competence.
The school had asked the parents to cut off their wards’ hair or find another school for them. Though the Ghana Education Student initially directed Achimota School to admit the students, it backtracked after pushback from the school’s stakeholders.
