Some 4,245 pupils from eight primary schools in the Awutu-Effutu-Senya District get one hot meal a day under the School Feeding Programme.
The schools are at Mayenda, Kofiansa, Chochoe, Bontrase and Kasoa. The rest are Okwabena Seven Days Adventist, Emmanuel Presbyterian and the Saint Martha Presbyterian School.
The Awutu-Effutu-Senya District Chief Executive, Mr. Solomon Abam-Quaye, said a total of ¢934.4 million have been spent on the programme.
He said the assembly would do its best to include some urban schools in the programme since apart from Kasoa all the beneficiary schools are from the rural areas.
Next year some schools in Winneba, Senya Beraku and Bawjiase would be included.
On the Youth Employment Programme, the DCE said a total of 373 youth have been employed as teaching assistants, health extension workers and waste managers.
Mr Abbam-Quaye expressed the hope that those employed would take advantage of their training and work hard to be absorbed into the national mean stream.
