President John Dramani Mahama has increased the daily feeding grant for students in public special schools from Ghc8 to Ghc15.
Announcing the policy in Parliament on Friday, February 27, during his second State of the Nation Address, he said, “Government has also increased the daily feeding grants for students in public special schools from eight cedis per day to 15 cedis per day.”
He stressed that the decision is part of a broader commitment to learners with disabilities.
“The amended GETFund Act has established a dedicated sustainable funding framework to implement free education for learners with special needs beginning in the 2026 academic year,” he told lawmakers.
According to the President, the measures are intended to promote equity, improve nutrition, and ensure sustained support for students in public special schools.
