The Ghana Education Service (GES) has launched investigations into a video circulating on social media alleging poor feeding conditions at Savelugu Senior High School in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

In a release issued on Friday, January 16, 2026, the Service said its management had taken note of the video and was treating the matter with urgency.<\/p>\n

\u201cManagement of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has sighted a video circulating on social media about an alleged food situation at Savelugu Senior High School,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The GES said that student feeding remains a top priority and warned that any form of mismanagement would not be tolerated.<\/p>\n

\u201cManagement takes the quality of student feeding very seriously. Hence, it prioritises quality feeding and views mismanagement as a serious offence, as it compromises the government\u2019s commitment to enhancing the feeding programme,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

According to the Service, significant improvements have been made in school feeding arrangements across the country in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cManagement acknowledges that the feeding of students has generally received a remarkable facelift, with an efficient collaboration between Buffer Stock and the school heads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing public concerns, the GES assured parents and guardians that the situation at Savelugu Senior High School does not represent conditions in other schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cManagement wishes to assure the public, especially parents, that the incident at Savelugu Senior High School is an isolated case and does not reflect the overall feeding status nationwide,\u201d it said, adding that \u201cinvestigations have been initiated into the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of efforts to prevent similar incidents, the Service announced plans to strengthen supervision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our continued commitment to ensuring quality feeding for students, the GES Monitoring Team will intensify its unannounced monitoring visits to schools,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The GES also called on school authorities to be proactive in reporting challenges related to feeding.<\/p>\n

\u201cStakeholders, and school heads especially, are urged to promptly report any peculiar challenges they encounter to Management for timely intervention,\u201d the release added.<\/p>\n
