The safety of the school canteen has been reflected for more than three years, but the result is no result, as a farmer, I can no longer do anything, the leaders of the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and the Education and Sports Bureau no longer have any illusions, writing an article to interpret the current situation may be the best result.
The harm of corruption in school canteens is enormous. In practice, students are required to eat in the campus canteen, and the campus canteen is also an exclusive monopoly operation, and the quality of the school canteen meals is very important to whether students who are growing up can get enough nutrition. And if there is corruption in the school canteen, then the wool is out of the sheep, and the bribes they get from the school canteen merchants are undoubtedly ration money from the mouths of the students, and the contractor has to do everything possible to reduce the quality of the meals in order to make a profit, which is tantamount to being mutilated for the students in the school stage. Students and parents are afraid of offending the school, so they often dare not speak out, or have no way to complain.
The Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China points out that local people at or above the county level shall implement a food safety supervision and management responsibility system. It can be seen that the local government has an unshirkable responsibility for the management of school canteens. For the food safety of school canteens, the local people should be responsible for the overall responsibility, the market supervision and management department shall bear the responsibility for supervision, the education department shall bear the responsibility of administrative supervisors, and the school shall bear the main responsibility. However, the market supervision and management department and the education department should earnestly perform their regulatory duties, and the management of school canteens must not only focus on the issuance of certificates and the approval of operation, but also carry out process supervision of all aspects of canteen operation. It is necessary to regularly go deep into the school canteen to conduct all-round supervision and guidance on the procurement, storage, processing, production, disinfection, and retention of samples of food, and correct the problems in a timely manner to ensure that there are no dead ends in school food safety supervision.
Corruption in the education system, especially in school canteens, should be taken seriously and dealt with with with a heavy blow. In addition to intensifying the investigation and punishment of corruption in the education system, the author believes that it is also necessary to fundamentally eradicate the soil of corruption in school canteens.
It is necessary to resolutely eradicate the power space in which "the principal and the director of the canteen have the final say". The leasing of school canteens should be open and fair, and withstand the supervision of society, school teachers, students, and parents. And increase the profit control of the operation of the school canteen. For primary and secondary school students, school canteens cannot be used for profiteering. To this end, the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and the education department shall formulate a reasonable profit range for school canteens, and organize professional institutions to evaluate the profit level of canteens in the middle or end of each year to ensure that they are within a reasonable range. Usually increase the supervision of the quality of meals. The competent department of education at the higher level should regularly and irregularly organize unannounced visits to the canteens to inspect and secretly visit, and receive students' objective evaluations of the quality of the canteens by secret ballot, or in the form of organizing student and parent forums, and the inspection team should promptly investigate and verify the contractors of the school canteens where the students have big opinions and complaints, and should use legal means to terminate their operating rights in accordance with the law and even punish those who are true. Discipline inspection departments should also intervene in a timely manner, and promptly check whether there is any corrupt behavior in the school canteens where complaints are made. Establish a typical ** system. For school canteens that have been verified to have poor food quality, student grievances, and even food hygiene and safety accidents, they should be resolutely punished, and promptly rectified, held accountable, and subject to social supervision.
Tackling corruption in school canteens and improving the quality of meals in canteens has a bearing on the healthy growth of students and the future of the motherland. It is hoped that the school canteen can become a gas station for the growth of students, and not be a "vampire" that mutilates students.
If you can't run a canteen, you can't do it, but you can't drink the blood of students and do things that lose your conscience. If even the problem of students' meals cannot be solved, it is a shame for education.
