Former Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Charles Aheto-Tsegah has emphasized that the uniqueness of the situations in various schools across the country does not support a centralised procurement and distribution of food items to the senior high schools.
He added his voice to the calls for the decentralization of the procurement and distribution of food supplies to senior high schools which has been identified as a contributing factor to the usual feeding challenge associated with the Free Senior High School program introduced by the Akufo-Addo-led NPP government. "The schools are very unique in their situations so for somebody to sit in Accra and decide what food to give to the people in Tamale and also to the people in the Volta Region could be very unfortunate.
A lot of the peculiar demands and desires and appetites would not be catered for in that respect" Mr.
Aheto-Tsegah stated on the 3FM Sunrise Morning Show, Friday 17 January, 2025.
