This new initiative complements the existing school lunch program, which already provides meals to more than 4,000 students each day. Together, these programs represent a comprehensive approach to addressing food insecurity, improving academic performance, and promoting healthier lifestyles for our students.
Minister of Education, the Hon. Daryll Matthew, expressed his enthusiasm for the program’s expansion, stating, “A child who begins the day with a balanced breakfast is better equipped to focus, learn, and thrive in the classroom. By adding breakfast to the National School Meals Program, we are making an investment not only in the health and well-being of our children but in the future of our nation.”
The breakfast program will feature nutritious options carefully designed to meet the dietary needs of young learners. By prioritizing local produce and suppliers, the initiative will also support the agricultural sector and stimulate economic growth.
The Ministry extends its gratitude to the hardworking staff of the School Meals Division, parents, teachers, and community partners who have worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality.
