The Minister for Gender and Social Protectiy, Cynthia Morrison says her ministry is ready to act upon President Nana Akufo-Addo’s directive for final year Junior High School students and their teachers currently in school to be served with one hot meal each day until the end of their exit exams in September 2020.
In a Citi News interview, she said that the exercise will be much easier because they have data of students and teachers who are beneficiaries of this intervention.
She revealed that the Ministry will engage caterers of the School Feeding Programme to prepare the meals.
“We have the register of the students and so we have the accurate number of students that we are going to cater for. We also have the accurate number of teachers that we are going to cater for so it makes it easier than the first time we did the food allocation…Both private and public school children writing the BECE are going to benefit and it is the same school feeding caterers who are going to cater for the pupils,” she said.
She added that teachers in the various schools are going to be integrated to ensure the success of the programme through a feedback form they will be provided with to report to the Ministry on the quality and quantity of food received each day.
“The headmasters and the teachers will be the first complainants. So we are giving them a form, every food that comes, the will give us the quantity that came and the quality also is stated.”
