The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has assured that food shortages in Senior High Schools (SHS) will soon be a thing of the past.

Speaking when commissioning the National Teaching Council Regional Office Complex in Tamale, he emphasised that President John Dramani Mahama's review of the free SHS policy, along with the decoupling of GETFund, has unlocked additional resources to tackle food supply challenges.

"I'm happy to note with satisfaction that president Mahama, your decision to decouple GETFund has made additional resources available to GETFund to fix and finance the food supply challenges and difficulties of free senior high school.

"In a reviewed manner there will no longer be any food shortages to any secondary school, so financing reviewed, John Dramani Mahama has kept his word," he stated.

The Minister explained that many had misunderstood the term "review" when President Mahama announced plans to assess the free SHS policy.

He clarified that it involved a critical evaluation across three key areas: financing, infrastructure, and quality assurance of teaching and learning.

He noted that this approach will enhance learning conditions in secondary schools nationwide.

"There were many of you when president Mahama said he was going to review free senior high school you opted not to look for merian Webster dictionary and opted for other dictionaries to look for a definition of what review meant.

"President Mahama meant a critical evaluation of the free senior high school, importantly in three departments, in financing of free senior high school, infrastructure of free senior high school and more importantly quality assurance where you play a role as teachers, these were the three areas where president Mahama subjected free senior high school to a review," he said.
