A Principal of a Government Day Secondary School, who didn’t want his name published, said that the majority of the students were no longer attending schools, describing the action as a serious setback to the educational development of the State.
It is unfortunate that the majority of our children are not attending schools again because of the suspension of the feeding programme in schools,” he added.
