The Ghana Education Service (GES) has begun investigations into an alleged feeding problem at Savelugu Senior High School following a video circulating on social media.
In a statement dated January 16, 2026, the GES said it has seen the video and takes the quality of student feeding very seriously. It described any form of mismanagement as a serious offence, noting that it undermines government’s efforts to improve the school feeding programme.
According to the Service, student feeding across the country has generally improved due to effective collaboration between the National Buffer Stock Company and school heads.
GES, however, assured parents and the general public that the situation at Savelugu Senior High School is an isolated case and does not represent the feeding conditions in schools nationwide.
As part of efforts to ensure quality feeding, the GES Monitoring Team will intensify unannounced visits to schools across the country.
The Service also urged stakeholders, especially school heads, to report any challenges they face promptly to enable management to respond in good time.
The statement was signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at the Ghana Education Service.
