Free SHS: 'If you are feeding 1.4 million students a day, there will definitely be challenges' - Education Minister

Adutwum admitted that there are numerous challenges with feeding in schools across Ghana but the situation is not as dire as reported within the media space.

"If you are feeding 1.4 million students a day, there will definitely be challenges.

I will not sit here as a Minister of Education and say that there are no challenges.

However, he was quick to add that, there is always a quick response by his outfit each time a case of shortage of food is reported.

That was the reason for adding feeding to the educational policy.

He acknowledged the great job done by the Buffer Stock but added that, the Ghana Commodity Exchange has been helpful with the provision of food anytime the Buffer Stock runs out of stock.

Speaking further, he mentioned that some heads of schools have been going to the aid of their sister schools anytime there is food crisis because, they have the welfare of the students at heart.
