Students' food program

Students' food program

From Neraca

I am very impressed with the food program for provincial primary school children and for children from a humble background. It is not only a noble program, it is a stimulus to improve the quality of human resources.

This food program will not only enrich nutriment, it will also hone most children's intellect. Children are in need of wholesome food.

I have noticed that most children of impoverished families are underfed. This condition does not promote growth of bright school children. I am certain that if they were being fed better food, most of them would be happy kids. A bright and happy child is usually of sound body and mental health.

I suggest the department responsible should distribute food independently. The government should channel funds to every school separately and allow the respective school management and parent organizations to decide what menu would be best for the students.

I am convinced that this method would be more efficient and would also foster public participation in the food program to promote the nation's intelligence.

Aside from this, if additional food were to be distributed separately to every school, harmony between schools and guardians would be established. We believe that the quality of students depends mostly on an active relationship between school and parents.
