Social media has been awash with incidences of some students having been rejected because of the hair they wore to their various schools after the placement of schools into second cycle institutions was effected.

Well, a 19-year-old dreadlocked student, who has been denied admission at Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School (OKESS) in the Ashanti Region, says he is considering quitting school than kowtowing to the bidding of the school administration of cutting his hair.

Selasi Yankee with an aggregate of 15 was placed at OKESS by Ghana Education Service (GES) computer placement system only to be denied admission by the school’s authorities.
