The Ministry of Education has sent adequate food supplies to various Senior High Schools (SHSs) across the country, the Head of Public Affairs at the Ministry, Kwesi Kwarteng, has disclosed.

This follows reports of food shortages in some schools across the country.

According to the Head of Public Affairs, the Ministry has distributed foodstuff to some schools already, and is still distributing to others who are yet to receive theirs.

“We are loading the trucks with foodstuff and making sure that they deliver to the schools. So in terms of food supply in the various schools, indeed some have reached the schools already,” Mr Kwarteng said.

He further assured that the Ministry is making arrangements to ensure all schools have enough supply.

“Largely, a lot of the schools have adequate supplies, but we are making sure that arrangements are made for other commodities for which they need supplies,” he said.

Mr Kwarteng added: “These arrangements are also happening in other districts and regions. I can confirm that we are making efforts to get our kids fed.”
