Deputy Minister for Education, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has denied wide spread speculations that there was shortage of food in some Senior High Schools (SHSs) across the country.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Rev. Fordjour believed the false reports in some section of the media were attempts to create a negative impression against the government flagship programme which had been accepted by the nation and the rest of the world.
The Deputy Minister said he made unannounced visits to selected SHSs in the Greater Accra Region to ascertain the facts about the speculations but found the claims of food shortage to be false.
Some of the schools he reportedly visited were O’ Reilly SHS, Tema SHS and Achimota SHS.
Rev. Fordjour added that the visit to the schools was also used to wish candidates writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) well and encourage them to work hard to get the best results at the end of the examinations.
