The Ministry of Education has denied accusations in the media that several Senior High Schools (SHS), notably those in the Volta Region, are suffering from a lack of food supplies.
The Ministry of Education said in a statement that “sufficient supplies have been provided to the schools in issue,” indicating that the statements in question are untrue.

The Ministry of Education, on the other hand, said that their investigations showed “all Senior High Schools in the nation had received an appropriate supply of food goods.”
