The Ghana Education Service (GES) has initiated the disbursement of feeding funds to Senior High Schools (SHS) across the country, aiming to address concerns over food supply. According to #GraphicOnline, the move comes after widespread reports of food shortages and hunger among students in various schools.
The GES has assured stakeholders that the funds are intended to support the procurement of perishable food items, ensuring that students are provided with nutritious meals. Headteachers have been instructed to prioritize the welfare of students and ensure that the funds are utilized effectively.
A headteacher, who wished to remain anonymous, welcomed the development, stating, “The release of the funds is a timely intervention, as many schools were struggling to provide food for their students.” The teacher emphasized that the move would help alleviate the suffering of students and promote a conducive learning environment.
The GES’s decision to release the funds has been hailed as a proactive measure to address the food supply concerns. The service has also urged caterers and suppliers to ensure timely delivery of food items to the schools.
As the GES continues to monitor the situation, stakeholders are optimistic that the release of the funds will bring relief to students and parents. The development is expected to have a positive impact on the academic calendar, allowing students to focus on their studies without worrying about food.
