Concerns have been voiced regarding the quality of food being served to pupils under the Free Senior High School (SHS) program by Mark Dankyira Korankye, Secretary-General of the Teachers and Educational Worker’s Union (TEWU) of the Trade Union Congress.
He encouraged the government to depoliticize the program and carry out an unbiased examination, even though he acknowledged the policy as one of the best education initiatives in the nation.
In his speech at the 13th Quadrennial National Delegates Conference of TEWU, he emphasized the significance of carrying out an exhaustive evaluation of the Free SHS program, with a specific focus on the caliber of food provided to students.
“This policy has to be evaluated to make it even better after seven years of implementation. It can’t go on as usual,” he declared.
Mr. Korankye emphasized that all pertinent parties must be involved in the provision of supplies and facilities, pointing out that reports of insufficient food supplies have been made in certain schools.
You may hear the term “L cube” in some of the institutions occasionally. In other words, there is liquid for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thus, L at dawn, L in the afternoon, and L at night.
As opposed to how we often have a small breakfast, a substantial lunch, and some in the evening.

The Secretary-General of TEWU pleaded with decision-makers to reconsider the Free SHS policy and take action to resolve the issues.
“I’m not talking about the politicians review here. I refer to the field of education. an assessment from a union with inside knowledge of the education industry, having worked in it for some time. “In order for our children to fully benefit from the policy, let us review it, remove the ones that have problems, and keep the ones that are best for our people,” he continued.
