Following the recommendation of the head of the province’s Education Department, with the 2023 school year we integrated the Food Program with support for 18 kindergartens for a total of around 1,400 children.
The program includes the distribution of “porridge” as breakfast.
From the quarterly report of the Department it is underlined that:
“Remarks:
- All food handlers working under this food program undergo medical examination procedures and are medically fit.
- Student enrollments in schools increased from 1,350 to 1,478 and the community introduced two day care centers
- the activity status of the learners reported by the teachers in charge is positive
- the parents’ contribution gave an answer equal to 90%.
Indicators:
- pupils finish their homework on time because those who don’t finish on time have to take their porridge later than those who finish on time
- Pupils’ handwriting keeps improving after taking the porridge because they are strong and active
- student performance is high after the long (10:00) porridge break.”
