Foolish question!

Uni students are adults. Children must be left to grow up.

Stop this over zealous human rights nonsense hiding evil things some people want to do to our children.

Let the children grow.

Who wants to do what to your children? KKT asked a pertinent question, referencing girls in India, Korea and America who are not required to cut their hair before entering high school yet outperform Ghana high school girls academically. High school girls across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and in many other countries don't require their high school girls to cut their hair, yet those girls also outperform Ghana high school girls academically. We don't like when those other countries' performances are brought up, yet far too many of our Ghanaians keep running to those countries for greener pastures. We love to defend practices that make no sense, just as some in Ghana society continue to defend the evil practice of Female Genital mutilation as well as the outdated practice of polygamy.

obaa aa wegyimi wu di ne twe ayede ruff....muahahahaaaa. what does hair have to do with academics? is school a military compound or a place to get kids educated so they can pass their exams? wealthier nations in this day and age dont even engage in this dogma. have you seen kids in canada, america, britain complain about this? gh leaders smh....they all have glue, mixed with cement for brains. you should have public and non public schools. public school will have no uniforms. non public/religious school will. if my kid wants to have rasta or braids and can afford to maintain his/her hair for school. does i care? as long as the kid is punctual and going to school does i care? cutting your hair does not determine discipline or intelligence etc. these foolish elders should leave the kids to live their lives and stop further further making them miserable with your stupid delusional laws. you make a kid cut their hair because fucking school? g7 nations you see their leaders? dont they all have hair? instead of worrying about your failed leadership, failed policies, fitlh everywhere causing diseases and deaths. you are bullying kids to make yourselves feel important. go to shs in the country. they are all schools of crime, sex . teachers are fusking the kids. what are you doing about these? the kids are taught things that arent relevant to life. how many shs kids can graduate and know how to make anything vocational with their hands that they can make money with? you have student athletes from ghana shs who dont get athletic scholarshps to further their athletic talents. all sorts of foolishness beacuse leadrs are stupid who only think about sex and corruption. and you are worried about the style of a kids hair? most of you fools wont even have hair after you are past 30

The cedi is losing its value, because she and others like her are importing wigs. Unlike the school girl, she's a threat to our economy. lol

There is simply no basis for this useless directive. Instead of us concentrating on providing the needed smenities for senior secondary schools we rather cut the girls' hair. We can just let the girls plat or braid their hair which requires little maintenance.and keeps the hair for long. This act of cutting the girls hair by force has no proven basis or logic to continue its practice. Other children in schools across West Africa are able to learn and achieve great results without being forced to cut their hair! Can't we progress and learn something new in this country for once???

But they pushed Achimota College to cave in for the dreadlocks guy despite the College's insistence on tradition, policy and uniformity of students. A court foisted that guy's hairstyle on the College. Isn't he better than all the girls in Ghana high schools?

This is how contradictory Ghana is, as we seem to never know exactly our bearings.

I concur with her.
The indiscipline in our SHS are becoming too much. Those criticising her and defending that it's an obsolete act, we shouldn't forget how banning corporal punishment (Canning) has now empowered resulted in so many indiscipline acts in schools now. Those who attended JHS and SHS in the era of corporal punishment, how often or do you even hear a student has brought gun to school or come out publicly to display indiscipline acts.
I think we are quick to compare ourselves to outside. Because they are not reporting the negativity about that does not mean they had no challenges. For instance, the number of gun violence occurring on daily basis in this so countries are bewilding but they only report one or none at hall. How can a high school student pick a gun a shoot a man who's going about his activities, because you think he is spreading hate or speaking against your activities.

Hahaha don't say what u dont understand and know. Okay so asked colleges , technical universities and universities ladies to cut their hair too . Since it will make them learn well. Someone kept the hair from nursery to JHS 3 , only to be asked to cut the hair at SHS 1 , why ? Keeping hair is a matter of choice and ability to maintain it . Do u also know how many barber's have infection students with hiv and hpv? Colo mental. U want uniformity in the school, are their sandals and shoes bought from one brand? Are their faces and heights the same ? Are their skin colour the same. That is why we are not developed as a nation because of strict outmoded traditional culture ls like.

@ mystique you get brain and wrote my mind. Hypocrites always talking about advancement and making comparisons with nations that have forsaken morality. Let's also change our gun laws and allow lgbtqi as they do. Why are the children made to wear uniforms and follow set daily routine unlike the tertiary adults? Following the crowd mindlessly is our bane.

Cutting your hair doesn't improve intelligence. Bring the statistics. The girls will learn what exactly? Oh how to buy wig and use chemicals to straighten their hair.

Are students prisoners?this old time religion has to stop. Private sss plate their hair,so why can't other schools?if u are talking about hygiene then reduce overcrowded in schools, if u are talking about facilities then let the school provide boreholes for water.if u are talking about competing then I can tell u its a healthy one because it can lead to professional hair dressing. Finally when u travel around the world do you see such primitive ideas?
