Their feedback, he\nsaid, forms part of its evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe spoke with the children today and listened to what they want from\nthe MBG programme. We asked which foods they like,\u201d Sudaryono said.<\/p>\n<p>He made the remarks while inspecting the programme at Cot Meuraja\nState Primary School in Blangbintang district, Aceh Besar. He was\naccompanied by House of Representatives member TA Khalid and ate with\nthe children in their classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Sudaryono said the BGN recognised that many issues remained in the\nprogramme\u2019s implementation and would continue working to resolve them so\nit could meet expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are continuing to improve the MBG programme so it reaches the\nright people, including by using Education Ministry data identifying\nstudent beneficiaries by name and address,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sudaryono said the programme had increased children\u2019s protein\nconsumption. He also said the proportion of schoolchildren who attended\nschool hungry had fallen from 50 per cent to 14 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The BGN would continue expanding the programme, including to\nIndonesia\u2019s frontier, outermost and disadvantaged (3T) regions, to\nincrease children\u2019s protein consumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also improving the SPPG [nutrition service units]. The BGN,\nrather than the SPPG, will determine the beneficiaries. We will also\nenforce stricter monitoring and operational standards in implementing\nthe MBG programme,\u201d Sudaryono said.<\/p>",
