“We have a challenge currently with feeding students in secondary schools,” President Mahama admitted. “As a stopgap measure, I have asked the Chief of Staff to work with the Ghana Education Service to allocate and evacuate food that is currently held in warehouses in Tema.”

The food stocks, originally imported to address past drought conditions, will now be redistributed to ensure students receive adequate meals, enabling educational activities to proceed without disruption.

The president reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to maintaining the Free SHS policy, emphasizing that logistical challenges must not hinder access to education. His directive follows calls from the Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools (CHASS), which had earlier warned of the dire food situation, urging parents to supplement meals for their children.

By utilizing existing resources, the government aims to relieve the burden on parents and school administrations while ensuring that students’ nutritional needs are met. This prompt intervention underscores the administration’s dedication to addressing urgent educational challenges and safeguarding the future of Ghana’s youth.
