Tonight on JoyNews’ PM Express, host Evans Mensah and his panel will eb discussing food and teaching material shortages in public senior high schools across the country.
This comes in the wake of the Students’ Representative Council of second-cycle institutions in the Ashanti region appealing to the government for the timely release of food and funds under the free SHS policy.
They observed recent delays in deliveries to most schools have resulted in a shortage of food items, hampering academic activities.
The Council also implored the government to reinstate the contributions of Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) in various schools.
Delayed supply of non-perishable food items and funds to second-cycle institutions remain a major challenge denting the effective implementation of government’s free senior high school policy.
Delayed release of funds has led to a shortage in food supplies, affecting the menu in most schools.
