Tyrone and the fight for education

Recall that in 2021, Tyrone Marhguy and another young man were nearly denied enrollment at the Achimota School for refusing to cut their dreadlocks.

The issue resulted in a court case, which Marhguy and the other student won, eventually leading to their enrollment at Achimota School.

Marhguy proved himself by excelling in his studies during his three-year stay in Achimota and even competing in the National Science and Maths Quiz.

He secured straight 8As in his final WASSCE exam and has now been admitted at Penn.

Congratulations pour in for Tyrone
