The Free SHS is saddled with challenges but no one ever expected to see this bizarre video in which Our Lady of Lourdes Girls’ Senior High School students are seen chanting “we want food”.
Apparently, they have either waited for so long for the day’s meal with nothing to show from the schools canteen.
In the video, which is now viral, some hundreds of SHS girls in the Our Lady of Lourdes Girls’ Senior High School, in Navrongo, could be seen with their dining plates chanting ‘we want Food’ to the school authorities who were present. It is not clear as to how and why food shortage occured in the school when the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service have made it clear that Food Shortages in Senior High Schools is no more.
Teachers or leadership of the school can be seen standing in front of the students. However, they also seem to be lost in the chants. The students of the school have only reemphasised the foot shortage challenges that have hunted the Free SHS policy.
Earlier in the year, former president Mahama described the food served SHS students are fog food. But if that is anything to go by, that is not even available to these students for now.

This free shs things is not working. Let parents pay for at least the food their kids eat. Let be honest with ourselves for once.

Those who are to make sure you get food are at Kumawu right now sharing money 💰 for votes.

This was arranged by the school authorities to make government unpopular. The teachers, and everyone there deliberately planned this.
About Lady of Lourdes Girls’ Senior High School
Our Lady of Lourdes Girls’ Senior High started as a middle school, with boarding for girls in 1958, but was later changed into a Secondary/Technical in 1992. Bishop Lucas, the then headmaster at that time reverted the school to a girls’ Senior High School, to sensitise the community on the importance of girl-child education.
The mission of the school is to provide an environment for moral and academic excellence for the female .gender integral transmission through quality education for self-actualisation and service to humanity.
