Education Ministry Debunks Claim of food shortage reports in SHSs

The Education Ministry has denied media reports of food shortage in some Senior High Schools (SHS), particularly in the Volta Region.

The Ministry in a statement said such reports are untrue, explaining that “all Senior High Schools in the country have received adequate supply of food items”.

Heads of schools have warned of a possible closure of schools following the unavailability of food items to cater for the student population.

But the Ministry said its checks reveal adequate supplies have been made to the schools in question.

“The Ministry however takes cognizance of recent disruptions within the food supply chain, but assures parents and guardians that they have been addressed”, the release indicated
