A video showing the final preparations of Nakeeyat Dramani as she readied herself to attend Mfantsiman Girls’ has gone viral.<\/strong><\/li>\n

Ghanaians who took to the comments section of the post shared varying opinions on the logic behind the mandatory haircut<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A barber, who had the rare opportunity to trim Nakeeyat’s beautiful hair, posted a video showing how the 2019 Talented Kidz<\/i> winner reacted to the haircut.<\/p>\n
The video, which has since gone viral, showed the moment the young poet walked into the salon with an anxious look as she prepared for the haircut.<\/p>\n\n \n Nakeeyat reacts as she gets a new trim as an SHS student.

With an anxious expression, Nakeeyat reluctantly sat in the barber’s chair when she was told to cut a small portion of her hair, an act signalling her consent to a low haircut.<\/p>\n
The young poet was hesitant to do that and needed convincing from the barber before she finally gathered the courage to cut a piece of her hair.<\/p>\n
Her facial expression suddenly changed as the clippers moved through her hair,<\/p>\n

Category B schools to be upgraded<\/h2>\n
Meanwhile, the Ghanaian Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has spoken about the government\u2019s agenda to elevate some Category B Senior High Schools (SHSs) to Category A status.<\/p>\n
At the launch of the ADEA Triennale on Education Conference on October 14, 2025, the minister intimated that this decision forms part of efforts to address school placement challenges.<\/p>\n
He added that it was also aimed at bringing about fairness for students in Ghana who often struggled to gain admission into their preferred Category A schools.<\/p>\n
