Alwyn Poole: School Lunches: The $324million question (or ten questions)?
Labels: Alwyn Poole, Foodbanks, School lunches, Subway1. Why are some children in NZ going hungry in 2024?
2. What is it about our welfare system that needs to be fixed to ensure every child receives breakfast, lunch and dinner via their parents or caregivers?
3. Prof Boyd Swinburne stated this week that the school lunches have improved school attendance by 3 days a year (.75 days per term, 0.075 days per week) and had shown some mental health improvements. Is the $324m on food the best way to do that? How about the mental health gains from actually doing well at school – not just eating a sandwich?
