His rants soon attracted national attention, with several Ghanaians expressing their outrage at the school’s decision.
The GES later waded in, with its Director-General, Prof Kwasi Opoku Amankwa, directing the school to give admission to the students.
However, an official at the GES who spoke on condition of anonymity has now revealed that the school has rejected the GES’ directive.
According to Citinewsroom, the school stood its ground and insisted that it will not change its decision.
