Government-assisted senior high schools (SHSs) in the three regions of the north are unable to reopen for the third term of the 2016/2017 academic year because of lack of funds to feed students.
Public sector SHSs across the country reopened for the third term on May 4, 2017 but those in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions remain closed because education authorities said for three-and-half terms, the government had not paid feeding grants to the schools.
