The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) has expressed surprise and disappointment over Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu’s recent remarks about the quality of food served in senior high schools. Apexnewsgh reports
The Minister had raised concerns about “poor quality food” and hinted at possibly reversing the decision to allow school heads to directly procure food.
CHASS National Secretary, Primus Baro, described the Minister’s comments as unexpected, stating that no formal reports have been received about schools serving poor-quality food. In fact, feedback suggests improvement since headteachers began procuring food themselves.
Baro urged that concerns about food quality be handled internally and constructively, rather than in the media, to avoid creating a misleading impression based on isolated incidents.
It’s worth noting that a different perspective on this issue comes from Yaw Osei Adutwum, who argued that relinquishing control over the food system doesn’t guarantee a seamless process, highlighting historical challenges faced by the system.
