AVERTING FOOD SHORTAGES IN SCHOOLS:
EDUCATION MINISTRY STREAMLINES SUPPLY CHAIN
The Ministry of Education is streamlining the food
supply chain architecture of senior high schools (SHSs) to ensure effective
handling of the food needs of the schools.
In line with that, the
ministry is building a database, which will include an automated system that
enables the ministry to identify any potential shortages.
The Minister of
Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, who made this known in an interview with the
Daily Graphic Monday (September 27), explained that the database would
immediately identify shortage of food supply to any school for prompt action.
His remarks came as the
Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) called for the
immediate release of funds and food items for the smooth running of schools in
the country.
