A 19-year-old final-year student of St Andrews Senior High School at Sefwi Asawinso in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality has allegedly been abused by his teachers after he reportedly refused to cut his bushy hair. According to an Adom FM report, the student, Eric Amoako, was directed by his teacher to leave the class to either cut down his hair or have it combed. Eric Amoako, however, is said to have refused to follow the teacher's instructions, leading to an alleged exchange of words between them. This prompted the headmaster to intervene, threatening to beat the student if he did not leave the class to have his hair shaved. The altercation reportedly resulted in the teachers beating Eric Amoako, leaving cane marks all over his body.
