The Ghana TVET Service has refuted allegations regarding disruptions in food supply across Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, asserting that feeding programmes are stable and academic activities are ongoing without interruption.
In response to these claims, the Service highlighted in a statement that learners in TVET institutions are receiving meals as scheduled, with no negative impact on teaching and learning across the country.
The statement indicated that the current systems established to manage food supply are operating effectively.
It clarified that, as part of the reforms implemented last year, the procurement and management of perishable food items have been decentralised to the institutional level.
In this new arrangement, school principals are tasked with overseeing food purchases and distribution, marking a departure from the previously centralised method.
The Service pointed out that this decentralised system has improved efficiency by enabling school leaders to make timely, context-specific decisions that cater to the immediate needs of their institutions.
Furthermore, it noted that operations continue to function smoothly under this framework, with no formal reports of food shortages submitted to the central administration.
