Education is recognized universally as a basic human right (Adekunle & Ogbogu, 2016). The article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 declared that everyone has the right to education. Elementary education under the article is required to be compulsory and free to all regardless of religion, gender, status or ethnic background. The education of the citizenry is crucial to the socioeconomic development of individuals and the whole nation (Braimah & Oduro-Ofori, 2005). It is a crucial process in the building of individual's social, economic and physical abilities required to survive and grow in a society (Dienye, 2011). Thus, a nation that fails to educate its people is stuffing them of their basic human rights and depriving them of sustained development now and in the future. Despite the rapid increase in the access to education in the Sub-Saharan Africa, 67 million children in the basic school are out of school or dropout due to poverty and hunger (World Food Programme, 2013). From this population of drop out children, 43% were boys and 57% were girls (WFP, 2013 as cited in Yendaw & Dayour, 2015). There is slow down of enrolment due to increasing dropout, especially in nations affected by political conflicts where about 40% of dropout children live (Yendaw & Dayour, 2015). The progress achieved in the decreasing of dropout children of primary school age declined immensely in 2005 and further deteriorated in 2008 to about 61 million (UNESCO, 2011 cited in Yendaw & Dayour, 2015). The drop out of children of primary school increased to about 31 million in 2010 (WFP, 2013). The Government of these countries has developed intense interest in arresting the situation through the revamping of the piloted school feeding programme in the sub region and Ghana is not an exception. Ghana in attempt to fulfilling her part in the article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights introduced the National School Feeding Programme in the 2005/2006 academic year (Osei-Fosu, 2011). In Sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana is the first of ten implementing school feeding programme (SFP) model. The Ghana school feeding programme (GSFP) began in selected communities in September 2005 with ten schools, one from each of the ten regions. The GSFP provides children in selected public primary schools and kindergartens with one hot, nutritious meal per day, using locally-grown
