Myriad issues ranging from a breakdown in communications to delays in the delivery of supplies have left students without balanced meals at the Desrey Fox Secondary School Dormitory in Waramadong, Upper Mazaruni Region Seven, according to responses from regional and national government officials.
Photos of students’ meals, described as “shine rice”, began surfacing on Facebook on Saturday and have made their way to the attention of policy makers at both Regional and National levels. An investigation has now been launched to determine what led to students not being able to receive balanced meals.
