The School Feeding Programme is to target more deprived basic schools in rural communities, President John Evans Mills, has said. The purpose of the intervention could be better served in these areas instead of the cities where many pupils refuse to take the free meals because their parents can feed them. President Mills, who is on the last leg of his three-day official working visit to the Ashanti Region said this when he presented a bus to the Bosome-Freho Senior High Technical School and inaugurated a dormitory built for the school through the Ghana education Trust Fund (GETFund) at Asiwa. He said they were determined to create the right conditions in schools to aid effective teaching and learning as well as promote the health of the children. President Mills said since the youth were the most treasured assets of the nation everything would be done to create opportunities for them. He, however, reminded the young people that they also have some responsibility for their own future and this entailed upholding the values of hard work and integrity. As the government, supported by the communities, parents and other stakeholders provide the needed educational infrastructure and facilities, they should accept to take their studies seriously. President Mills said it was by so doing that they would grow into responsible adults ready to take up leadership positions in society. He later inspected on-going works on an administration block for the district assembly and inaugurated a market built with funds from the district development fund.Source: GNA
