The Pomposo Akaporiso Basic School in Obuasi has expressed concern over the neglect of students by officials in charge of the school feeding program.

Chairman of the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Nana Gyamena, says the number of students in class has significantly reduced in recent times.

This is because the students in basic school have not been fed since the beginning of the academic term.

The school feeding program was also delayed for about a month the previous academic year.

“Students have not been fed since the beginning of the academic year,” Nana Gyamena told Obidehyie Ofori Amanfo on Nhyira Fm’s 'Kuro Yi Mu Nsem' show.

With about 300 students and an average class of 50-80 students per class, it is considered the most populous school in Obuasi.

Being denied food in school, the pupils fail to return to school when they go home for food during the break.

The assembly member for Pomposo Akaporiso, Kwadwo Boafo, says the cause of the disruption in the school feeding schedule is yet to be known.

A supplier to the school feeding programme, however, lamented non-payment of arrears for several months.

The school authorities are urging the government to help restore the school feeding program to help keep the pupils in the classroom.
