Social media users have reacted strongly to the recent statement by Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu, who declared that “long hair will not be tolerated in Senior High Schools.”
The Minister’s comment has sparked intense debate online after a photo surfaced showing a white female student with long hair sitting among Ghanaian students in a classroom.
Many netizens questioned why local students are being forced to cut their hair short in the name of discipline, while others — particularly foreign students — are seemingly allowed to keep theirs.
Some argued that discipline should not be tied to hair length, while others insisted that school rules should apply equally to all students regardless of background.
The photo has since gone viral, fueling conversations about fairness, colonial legacies in education, and the need to modernize school grooming policies in Ghana.
