Dr. Adutwum Urges Government to Embrace Technology in Fight Against Exam Malpractice
The grant demonstrates the Government of Ghana’s continued commitment to creating an equitable educational environment where all learners, regardless of ability, have the opportunity to succeed. By investing in the welfare of students in special schools, the government is not only supporting their academic journey but also encouraging a more inclusive and empathetic society.
The disbursement comes at a critical time for many of these institutions, which often rely heavily on government funding to provide essential services to children with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. For these schools, the grant serves as a vital resource—enabling them to provide nutritious meals that promote learning, growth, and overall well-being.
Nutrition is a key factor in effective learning. Research consistently shows that well-nourished children are better able to concentrate, participate in class, and perform academically. By funding feeding programmes, the government acknowledges this connection and works to eliminate obstacles that could hinder the educational success of learners with special needs.
The GES has welcomed the initiative and commended the government for prioritizing Special Needs Education as part of the broader educational reform agenda. In an official statement, the Service expressed appreciation to all stakeholders—especially school heads, staff, and learners—for their resilience and commitment in the period leading up to the release of the grant.

“This disbursement reaffirms the Government of Ghana’s unwavering support for inclusive education and its recognition of the unique challenges facing Special Needs Schools. We commend the government for this important gesture and remain committed to working collaboratively with all partners to ensure that every learner, regardless of ability, receives quality and equitable education,” the statement said.
As Ghana pursues the global objective of inclusive, equitable, and quality education under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this feeding grant stands as a concrete step toward supporting vulnerable learners. By directly addressing their nutritional needs, the government is laying the foundation for lasting educational progress and social inclusion.
The GES reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Special Needs Education through advocacy, collaboration, and strategic partnerships. With sustained investment and attention, Ghana’s education sector can move toward a future where no learner is left behind.
