Feeding grant for SHS up by 50%
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh,
Ghanadot Accra, Aug 24, Ghanadot -
Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Education has
increased the school feeding grant from GH80p to GH˘1.20 for
all public senior high schools throughout the country. This
increase represents about 50% compared with last year.
The Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Education,
Mr. Paul Kofi Krampa who disclosed in Accra, over the
weekend.
He disclosed that the increase followed approval by the
Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning for an upward
adjustment with effect from the 2009- 2010 academic year,
which begins next month.
The feeding grant caters for purchases of food items,
cooking utensils and gas, among others.
The increase breaks the impasse that had developed over the
issue between the Ghana Education Service and the Conference
of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS). While CHASS
demanded GH˘1.20 per student, the GES stuck to GH˘1.00.
Meanwhile, following the increase, the Ministry of Education
has asked heads of public institutions to ensure that the
students are provided with nutritious meals. They should
also ensure that basic cooking equipment are provided in the
dining halls.
