The government has begun the distribution of food supplies to senior High Schools across the country as part of its bold steps to address the food shortages that have hit the schools, thus affecting teaching and learning.
The Ghana Armed Forces is spearheading the distribution of the food supplies following an order from President John Dramani Mahama to release food from warehouses in Tema.
President John Mahama had earlier ordered the distribution of food meant for victims of last year's drought in the northern part of the country to be redirected to schools.
Former Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament's Education Committee, Dr Clement Apaak, made these known at Tema on Thursday after visiting Tema with representatives from the Office of the Chief of Staff, the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, and the Technical Vocational Educational Training (TVET).
