Schools in Kamchatka will supply every student with a midday meal
In a recent development, the Governor of Kamchatka Krai has taken notice of concerns raised by parents regarding disparities in school meal organisation. The focus of the discussion revolves around the quality and accessibility of meals for all students, particularly non-privileged children.
It has been reported that the reduced menu for non-privileged students did not include essential items such as fruits, yogurts, and fresh baked goods, which were previously provided to all students. This revelation has sparked concerns about equality and fairness within the educational system.
In response, the regional head has proposed several measures to address these issues. Firstly, they have requested a parent satisfaction survey regarding meal quality, including potential differences between privileged and non-privileged children's meals. The aim is to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement.
Secondly, the regional head has suggested that meals available to privileged students for free should also be purchasable, thereby promoting equality in meal access. However, no specific financial arrangements for school meals have been outlined yet.
The new school meal organisation also aims to provide equal meals for both privileged and non-privileged students, ensuring all children have access to high-quality meals. The regional head has not mentioned any new essential items to be included in the school meals, but has proposed that additional products might be provided during snack time, which children without free meals cannot afford.
The Governor of Kamchatka Krai has ordered the Minister of Education to ensure equal high-quality meals for all students. The name of the Minister of Education in Kamchatka Krai is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results.
The regional head has also clarified discrepancies between official reports and reality regarding school meal quality and reiterated the importance of uniform meal quality for all students. As of now, the Governor has not announced any changes to the current school meal organisation.
The emphasis on school meal quality and equality is a significant step towards creating a fair and equitable educational environment in Kamchatka Krai. The regional head continues to stress the need for improvements and is actively seeking solutions to address the concerns raised by parents.
