We’ll soon provide food items to schools – Buffer Stock Company
The National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) has
assured that efforts are underway to tackle
challenges with food supply to various schools
across the country.

NAFCO is hopeful that these challenges will be
resolved immediately to prevent the closure of
schools.

“We wish to acknowledge that there have been
genuine challenges relating to the supply of some
specific food commodities and wish to assure that
frantic efforts have been underway to address the
concerns raised, particularly in ensuring adequate
and regular supply of food to the schools. It is
our fervent hope that the challenges will be
resolved in a timeous manner in order to avert any
potential closure of our schools.”

The teacher unions had petitioned the government
and educational stakeholders to ensure the timely
supply of food items to various Senior High
Schools.

The unions complained that they had not received
any funds from the Education Ministry to run
various schools.

They disclosed this in a statement.

“The situation at the SHSs is critical and has
brought the SHSs on their knees owing to the
delays in releasing the GOG funds, non-supply of
food items by the Buffer Stock Company and
compounded by the early reporting at school at the
beginning of each term, compared to the period
preceding the Free SHS, now students no longer
have to wait for school fees to be provided them
before reporting to school,” portions of the
statement said.

Apart from problems with food supply, various
stakeholders in the educational sector have raised
concerns over other challenges including the
provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
