Three days have passed, but the Education Ministry has yet to fulfill its pledge to provide meals to senior high schools in the Upper West Region. Food items would be distributed to all senior high schools in the Upper West Region on the same day, Kwasi Kwarteng promised in an interview with the spokesperson for the Education Ministry on 3FM Sunrise on Tuesday.
This is especially important given their peculiar situation. On Tuesday, July 12, 2022, Kwarteng said on 3FM Sunrise, "As I have already indicated, all the schools in the Upper West Region are going to receive food supplies this morning and the by the end of today."
NAGRAT's Upper West Regional Chairman, Harun Ussif Kadiri, acknowledged to Alfred Ocansey on the Thursday, July 14, 2022 episode of 3FM Sunrise Morning that schools have not gotten food supplies or funding and that head teachers must use their own finances to purchase corn dough to feed children.
He claimed that the circumstance is so dire that students would have staged a significant protest if it were still the case when they were students. "It is not simple, and headmasters have done well to plant a foot in the ground. The rampage would have been worse if not for that. In a similar circumstance when we were in high school, Ussif Kadiri recalled, "we would have gone on the rampage."
Ussif Kadiri revealed that pupils eat rice for lunch and dinner and go to the dining hall for porridge without sugar or bread. Oil, tomatoes, and other supplies are absent. Fhe school administrators have stated that they will be forced to close the schools if the matter cannot be resolved by tomorrow, Friday, July 15.
