It is required of government to urgently make full payment of the accumulated feeding grants debt associated with Senior High Schools in the three regions of the north.<\/p>\n

Citi News’<\/strong> incessant reports on the situation compelled\u00a0government\u00a0to pay one out of three terms debt owed the various schools.<\/p>\n

It is unknown when\u00a0government\u00a0will defray the total debt, and if this academic term ends without any reimbursements, it will pile up for three terms.<\/p>\n

Food suppliers who earlier withdrew their services and demanded full reimbursement, rescinded their decision on humanitarian grounds to enable the\u00a0students\u00a0return to the classroom.<\/p>\n

A frustrated Bursar of one of the affected schools on condition of anonymity told Citi News<\/strong> school authorities are now dealing with food suppliers without recourse to the procurement process.<\/p>\n

He said food suppliers have taken advantage of the situation and are overpricing their goods.<\/p>\n

He pleaded with\u00a0government\u00a0to permanently resolve the feeding grants problem ahead of the implementation of the free Senior High School education concept.<\/p>\n

It will be recalled that, second cycle institutions in the three regions of the north postponed reopening after the Christmas break, due to the feeding grants problem.<\/p>\n

The students a week later returned to school and witnessed a reduction of the quantity of food served at the\u00a0dinning\u00a0halls.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0non-payment\u00a0of the accumulated Feeding Grants debt is affecting the academic calendar of Senior High Schools in the three regions of the north.<\/p>\n
