Friday, 29 November 2024 | Ghana
The management of St. Augustine’s College in Cape Coast has strongly rejected claims of a food shortage at the school, clarifying that it has sufficient food supplies to meet the needs of its students.
In a statement issued by the school's headmaster, Rev. Fr. Patrick Godfred Appiah (PhD.), the institution refuted reports alleging that students were not being properly fed due to a lack of food. The headmaster emphasized that these claims were both "unfounded and untrue."
Rev. Fr. Appiah provided details of the school’s food supply, confirming that St. Augustine’s College had received several deliveries of food items from the National Buffer Stock Company. These deliveries took place on November 4th, 9th, 13th, 19th, and 21st, ensuring the school had a steady supply of necessary provisions. The headmaster's statement sought to reassure parents, students, and the public that the institution's food needs were being met, dispelling rumors that had caused concern.
The headmaster also took the opportunity to acknowledge the government’s vital role in supporting the school through the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy. This initiative has significantly eased the financial burden on the school, allowing it to maintain its operations without disruption. "The government’s assistance under the Free SHS policy has been crucial in ensuring smooth operations here at St. Augustine’s College," Rev. Fr. Appiah said, expressing appreciation for the continued support.
The statement further highlighted the remarkable efforts of the school’s kitchen staff, who managed to provide uninterrupted meals for students despite the recent industrial action by the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU). "Throughout the strike, the kitchen staff worked tirelessly to ensure that students continued to receive their meals without disruption," the headmaster praised, acknowledging their dedication and commitment during a challenging period.
Rev. Fr. Appiah also expressed gratitude to the Central Regional Director of Education, who had visited the school to encourage the matron and her team of kitchen staff. His visit served to uplift and motivate the team, who played a key role in maintaining normalcy during the industrial action.
The school’s response to the food shortage allegations aims to clarify misunderstandings and assure all stakeholders that the needs of students are being met effectively.
