Meals or Foods in Schools
Healthy
meals support schools’ core mission of education, especially when it comes to
boosting students’ concentration, focus and cognitive function. A vast body of
research shows that improved nutrition in schools leads to increased focus and
attention, improved test scores and better classroom behaviour.
School
Meals are critical to students’ well-being and readiness to learn. Research has
shown that children who eat breakfast and lunch at school rely on school meals
for half of their daily energy intake.
Research has also shown that school meals are healthier than meals brought from home or elsewhere: students eat more fruits, vegetables, and milk when they consume school meals, and they are less likely to consume desserts and snack items.
Student involvement is key when spreading the word about the importance of school meals. Involve students by asking them to share ideas they have for the school menu. Share their feedback with the school nutrition team and loop back with the students about how their voice was used to make meaningful changes in the cafeteria.
