The Release

The Ministry of Education, in response to a recent documentary by JoyNews highlighting concerns about poor feeding and irregular food supply in Senior High Schools, embarked on a comprehensive nationwide visitation and monitoring exercise in collaboration with the media.

The objective was to gain a fair understanding of the issues raised and address them appropriately if found to be valid.

Contrary to the narrative portrayed in the documentary mentioned above, our
visitation revealed the following key findings:

1. Schools visited and reports from other schools indicated the maintenance of an
adequate stock of food in their storage facilities.

2. There is prompt and up-to-date payment of funds allocated for the purchase of
perishable food items to all schools.

3. Feedback from heads of schools and students indicates overall satisfaction with the
quality and quantity of food being served.

The Ministry is open to remedying any real anomaly found anywhere and reassures parents, students, and the general public of our unwavering commitment to providing adequate, high-quality, and timely food supplies to ensure an enhanced free and quality Senior High School program.

In the interim, we urge JoyNews to exercise circumspection, fairness and responsibility in its reportage, particularly when it pertains to the well-being of students.
