The Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools (CHASS) has urged parents and guardians to assist with the feeding challenges in senior high schools.
CHASS had earlier appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) to reconsider the reopening of high schools, citing unresolved financial issues, including the government's non-payment for perishable foods provided for students last year.
However, the GES rejected this appeal.
Five days after schools reopened, the National Secretary of CHASS, Primus Baro, told JoyNews that the situation in high schools is dire, with many institutions having to ration food.
