Update on School Nutrition Programme
The National Schools Dietary Services Limited, the State-owned enterprise which falls under the direction of the Ministry of Education and which has responsibility for the School Nutrition Programme, took a proactive approach in responding to the recent challenge it faced with the water supply to some of its kitchens.
The safety of the nation’s children comes first, and as such, the company shut down operations in Caroni, East and the East/West Corridor to take the precautionary measure of cleaning and sanitising the water tanks at the affected kitchens.
This process has been completed with the assurance that a safe water supply has been restored at all facilities. The Programme is ready to resume full operations, therefore, full service of all 60,000 breakfast meals and 94,000 lunches to our nation’s students will resume tomorrow, Friday February 27th, 2015.
