I will take Achimota School to Court – Father of Rasta student Speaks.
Despite reports that the Ghana
Education Service (GES) has intervened in the Achimota School situation, Mr. Raswad Nkrabea,
the father of the Rastafarian student initially says legal action is still on
the table.
The Ghana Education
Service has directed the Authorities of the Achimota School to fully admit the Tyrone
Iras Marhguy who were turned away trending widespread debate and outrage.
Raswad Nkrabea, the
father of Tyrone Iras Marhguy, one of the boys facing discrimination, says he
is waiting for a formal response to legitimize the development.
“We haven't gotten
an official response from the school or from the GES, so it is very important
that we stay very resolute and alert in terms of what is happening,” he told
Citi News.
“Our lawyer is
standing by to do what is necessary as we told the school we were going to do a
class-action lawsuit and that is still on the table if they decide they are
going to be adamant and restrict the liberty of these students.”
In line with this,
the parents of the two Rastafarian boys plan to seek clarifications from the
GES.
Raswad Nkrabea also
wants the decision to accept dreadlocked students in public Senior High Schools
(SHS) to be extended to all schools.
“We do not want the situation where it will just apply to just one school like the Achimota School then you find this thing happening in Kumasi next year or somewhere else. We want to make sure the legal processes are followed up properly,” he said.
