The Ministry of Education has dismissed reports of food shortage in some senior high schools, particularly in the Greater Accra region.

Heads of schools have warned of possible closure following the unavailability of food items to cater for the students population.

Even though the Ministry admits disruption within the food supply chain, the Spokesperson of the Ministry, Kwesi Kwarteng addressing the media when they paid a visit to Labone SHS in Accra, assured parents and guardians that there is enough food in various schools.

"We want to assure Ghanaians…yes, we are not running a perfect system. We are running a system with human interface, if there are challenges the assurance is that we are going to resolve the challenges as soon as possible. The assurance we are giving to the parents and everybody once again is that there are enough and adequate food in our senior high schools. Even if interms of the quantity there is reduction, we are always on standby to facilitate the distrubution process.”
