A high court in Malawi has ordered education authorities to admit learners with dreadlocks in public schools across the country.
The court, sitting in the eastern city of Zomba, was ruling on a petition brought by two Rastafarian children who were refused admission in public schools in 2016 and 2010.
The two learners have, however, been attending school after they obtained a court injunction.
Judge Zione Ntaba ruled that barring children with dreadlocks from attending school was a breach of their right to education.
