The Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools (CHASS) has urged parents to ensure that their children come to school with food, in light of the ongoing feeding difficulties faced in Senior High Schools (SHSs).
The Ghana Education Service (GES) previously dismissed a request from CHASS to reconsider the reopening of high schools, citing outstanding financial matters, including the government's failure to pay for perishable food items supplied to students the previous year.
Just five days after the schools reopened, CHASS expressed concerns regarding the situation, indicating the potential for food rationing within the schools.
In an interview with Joy News on Wednesday, January 8, the National Secretary of CHASS, Primus Baro, encouraged parents to provide their children with food items to supplement the government's efforts. "I encourage parents, and I have already advised my PTA to this effect, to let their children bring food like gari, shito, and sugar to supplement whatever the school provides.
