“Messy” student food: Parents put up banners, what did the school say?

As it was registered around 10:30 am on November 4, many parents hang some banners in front of the school gate with the desire to guarantee the rights of boarding school meals for students.

Education and Training and Inspector of the City of Nha Trang. Ms. Hoa said that I have been the principal again since April this year and the boarding school meal activity for students has been around for a long time.

According to the school principal, the unit that bid for the student’s meals is not currently liquidating the contract, telling them to await the completion of the inspection.

“The school has also continuously held meetings to handle the old contract, but the contractor has not yet settled the contract,” added Ms Hoa.

Before that, in mid-October, the student’s parents sent a complaint form to the leaders of the city of Nha Trang and Khanh Hoa province, asking the city leaders to verify and clarify why their meals were too low in nutrients. , not according to the price that parents contribute.

Specifically, before this school had about 900 students in semi-boarding school. Every month, a semi-boarding student pays around 600,000 VND. Based on initial information, a student’s daily meals at this school are approximately VND 24,000, including VND 19,000 for lunch, VND 5,000 for lunch …

“If parents don’t manually take pictures of such poor and nutritious foods, will that always happen without parents knowing, when all inspection problems are very difficult?” , the application reflects the frustration of the student’s parents.

According to parents, when checking, they discovered that the amount of food was not the same as advertised by the kitchen. Specifically, as pork, the kitchen initially reported 65kg, but parents asked to weigh up to only 32kg.

Then the kitchen bought more to get 44 kg, but said that since the food was less, they bought it with their own money. This causes many concerns and doubts on the part of parents when their children return home from school “because they are hungry, they do not eat well.”

Before the “controversy” at Phuoc Long 1 Primary School, the leader of the Nha Trang City People’s Committee said that he asked the Nha Trang City Education and Training Department to establish a team to verify, clarify reflections and doubts of the parents, informing soon for the parents and the public opinion.
