Quality education is the foundation to the productivity and sustainability of every economy, society and country. It is a system that provides learners with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values they need to lead productive, fulfilling lives. It focuses on ensuring that all students, regardless of their background or circumstances, have access to equitable and inclusive learning opportunities. One of the major challenges of quality education is food insecurity, this hinders the level of focus and cognitive development needed to comprehend in any learning environment.
