some angry students from Ntcheu Secondary School on Tuesday marched peacefully to the district’s education office petitioning authorities over poor diet.

The concerned students alleged that since the school opened for first term last month, they have been served with porridge and nsima which has a bitter taste.

“Since 11th September, we have been eating this nsima and porridge which we think put at risk our lives,” said one student.

The student said that despite engaging school authorities on the issue, nothing has changed.

“We just wanted to marched peacefully protesting against the meal’s. We hope something will be done,” said another student.

Ntcheu District Chief Education Officer (CEO) Veronica Nyaka says the issue has been resolved.

“Both the school’s management and the learners have resolved their differences and the students have resumed learning,” she said.
