The awkward status quo of primary school meals in the canteen within the system
The canteen of the institution can eat at will for 2 yuan, and the rural primary school has 2 plates for 6 people, and the principal's words reveal weakness.
Food is very important in people's minds, and eating is not just a matter of satisfying physical needs, but also an important thing. Especially in the past, in the age of poverty, adults would rather go hungry than make sure their children had something to eat.
Nowadays, the standard of living has improved, and difficulty eating is no longer common. However, how to eat well has become a new challenge, especially for preschoolers, who are in the stage of growth and development, so they need to eat nutritionally balanced foods to ensure good health.
There are reports that in a primary school in Heilongjiang, several children sit around a table to eat. Judging by the food on the table, it's poignant. Do these foods have enough nutritional value?However, in the face of such doubts, the principal persuaded the skeptics in a few words.
In the cafeteria at this elementary school, students pay only $2 for a full meal. However, parents say that the quality of the school's meals is poor. ** Shows six elementary school students sitting around a table with two plates of food on the table.
Theoretically, two dishes are enough for six students. However, the dishes served on the table are not recommended, one plate is potato stew with cabbage, and the other plate is stewed chicken neck.
No matter how large the portion is, this dish is not balanced from a nutritional point of view. In particular, it is not wise to use chicken necks instead of meat to provide protein.
Chicken necks should not be eaten in large quantities, and the bones are relatively small, which is more risky for preschoolers. Preschool-aged children are in the stages of growth and development, and these foods do not guarantee adequate nutrition.
* After that, netizens expressed concern. You can always see some employees in listed companies or systems boasting about how rich their meals are, how they can eat a buffet for only two or three yuan.
In contrast, the food for elementary school students is too pitiful. According to the parents' feedback, the reporter quickly rushed to the school and got in touch with the principal, whose opinion was distressing.
The school is located in a rural area, and the principal said his goal is to ensure that students don't go hungry. There looked like there were two plates of food on the table, but the students could add more when they ran out.
In order to guarantee a balanced diet for students, the school provides more than 20 different dishes for students to choose from in rotation to ensure that they are getting a variety of nutrients.
The director explained that a student is fed $150 per month, which is equivalent to 22 days per day based on 6 days per monthAround $80.
He said that most parents live in rural areas and the cost of living is not high. If you want to provide better food, you have to increase the price. However, even if the price increases by less than $7 per meal, most parents can't afford it.
The current dilemma faced by schools is that they want to provide better meals while keeping them low**. However, in the future, schools will try to change from two courses per meal to three courses to give students more choices.
The principal considered it to be the incompetence of the rural schools. While parents are aware that their children need better nutrition, they are unable to uniformly raise nutrition standards due to family financial reasons.
Compared with the civil servants' canteen, there is a corresponding subsidy, and the food is relatively cheap. As part of this policy, there is also a subsidy for rural primary schools, but what about the specifics?
The policy of meal subsidies for rural primary schools is an important issue. Whether it is a rural or urban school canteen, there is a certain subsidy policy. My family lives in Shenyang, there is a primary school near my home, and I heard that lunch** is 8 yuan per person per day. They provide two meat and two vegetarian dishes, including pork chops, braised pork, small meatballs, etc., with a balanced nutritional mix.
However, compared to this standard, the lunch standard differs by 1$2. Although this may seem like a small amount, the difference in the dishes is significant.
According to the "Notice on the In-depth Implementation of the Nutritional Diet Improvement Plan for Rural Compulsory Education Students", starting from the autumn semester of 2021, the dietary subsidy standard for rural compulsory education students will be increased from 4 yuan to 5 yuan per student per day. Poor families will also receive an additional 100 yuan per semester meal subsidy.
In fact, dietary subsidies are higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Therefore, the level of student food needs to be improved. School cafeterias are not for profit, but they are a necessity to ensure students' campus life.
Just like the civil servants' canteen, as long as there is a subsidy, a balanced diet and rich dishes are the basic principles that should be followed. Only in this way can we ensure that students grow up healthier.
This requires comprehensive oversight, from hygiene to food pairing, portion size and level. Rural primary schools may encounter some difficulties in implementing meals, but how to overcome these difficulties and achieve complete school education is also a test for school leaders.
We hope that in the future, more students will be able to grow up healthy and happy, and no longer worry about food problems.
