Vladimir Putin on hot meals for children

According to the head of state, when a child goes to school, parents, in particular mothers, get the opportunity to build their careers and earn income. But to get a child to school, you need to spend a considerable amount, which is often not enough for families.

As a support for families with children, the President of Russia proposed in 2020 to provide hot free meals for primary school children, for whom this is very important. All people should be in equal conditions, as Putin said, parents should not feel that they cannot feed their child.

For the implementation of these measures, the President of Russia recommended using funds from several sources. Thus, it is planned to finance it by the budgets of the federal, regional and local levels.

It was also proposed to work out the issue of developing the infrastructure of schools - to equip canteens, to install buffets, to establish a process of supplying only high-quality products.

Schools that are already technically ready to implement the proposed changes must fulfill the president's instructions from September 1, 2020. All schools will have to switch completely to the system of providing hot meals to children by 2023.

Changes in legislation

It is expected that some will be included in the law “On Education in the Russian Federation”. It should be clearly stated that the educational institution is obliged to provide primary school students with hot meals at least once a day.

When organizing meals, it is important to take into account the specific health characteristics of a particular student. We are talking about diseases: gastritis, diabetes, obesity and others, in which the child should follow a special diet.

According to statistics, about 20% of children have diseases of the digestive system. Parents, on their own initiative, can submit documents to the school proving the presence of the disease.

This requirement should be taken into account not only by schools, but also by kindergartens. Schools will have to inform about nutrition on their website, report on the daily menu.

In addition to food at school, the bill provides for changes in the production of baby food. For these purposes, it will not be possible to use raw materials with GMOs, feed additives, pesticides, chemicals and growth stimulants.

The implementation of the bill on the provision of hot meals to primary school students will require an additional 20 billion rubles.
