We want money instead of the hot meals – JHS teachers to Akufo-Addo

Some teachers in Junior High Schools (JHS) have welcomed government’s one hot meal initiative for pupils and staff.

They, however, said they preferred money to the one hot meal daily intervention announced by President Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his number 15 address on measures to contain Covid-19 in the country.

Although they welcomed the government’s one hot meal initiative for pupils and staff announced by President Akufo-Addo in his 15th COVID-19 address to the nation, they claim cash would be better.

In a report filed by JoyNews, Mavis Adjei, a teacher in a public basic school in the Greater Accra Region said some teachers were on diet and would not benefit from the meals and appealed to the government to consider replacing the hot meal for teachers and staff of basic schools with money.

Some pupils expressed their excitement to the Ghana News Agency after President Akufo-Addo announced the initiative and said they could not wait for it to start.
