The Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) management has asked all contracted caterers to stop feeding basic school kids after Friday, December 10, 2021.
Despite the extension of the third term’s vacation date to Friday, December 17, caterers have been warned against continuing to provide meals to beneficiary schools.
This follows the Ghana Education Service (GES) extending the academic calendar for the third term to Friday, December 17, 2021, rather than the previous deadline of Friday, December 10, 2021.
“The Management of the GSFP would like to communicate to its contracted caterers accordingly that, GSFP meals to beneficiary pupils should not go beyond this Friday, 10th of December, 2021,” a statement dated December 10 and signed by GSFP Management said.
The notification further said that “after December 10, 2021, the GSFP will not be responsible for any school meal provided by any caterer in its beneficiary schools.”
While praising caterers for their efforts during the 2020/2021 academic year, the GSFP announced that catering services for the third term will be reimbursed for the time between Monday, September 6 and Friday, December 10.
“Management would like to emphatically assure you that the Controller and Accountant General is mobilizing the needed funds for the payment of your 2nd term and other arrears as soon as possible,” the notice added.
