A teacher in one of the Senior High Schools (SHS) in the country has revealed how students in some of the nation\u2019s second cycle institutions are subjected to eat food of poor quality.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Adom FM\u2019s morning show\u00a0Dwaso Nsem<\/strong>\u00a0Friday, the teacher, who spoke under anonymity, said it is only when officials from the Buffer Stock Company that supply them non-perishable foods or government officials visit the school that students are given meat and eggs on their food.<\/p>\n \u201cThe policy on SHS menu is that all SHS students are entitled to eggs twice in a week but that is not happening in our schools, at least we know several schools that are giving their students poor food.<\/p>\n \u201cUnless officials are coming from Buffer Stock before the students will be given eggs or even fish on their food. Sometimes the rice they eat don\u2019t even have brand names so we can\u2019t even tell if they are expired or not. It\u2019s very sad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to him, the food has been budgeted for by the government and so wondered why schools keep giving poor quality foods to the students when they deserve better.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you complain right now and you are fished out, you will regret it. They will just transfer you to a place you won\u2019t be able to even speak up,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n Speaking on Free SHS, he said though it\u2019s a good initiative, the monitoring and assessment are poor as most classrooms are congested, thus, affecting teaching and learning.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are in a total mess, I won\u2019t blame the president but I will blame people around him because they fail to perform their duties, someone is not doing his or work. Our education is in a mess,\u201d he cried.<\/p>\n Source: Adomonline.com<\/p>\n
