Mayor Abby to push for nutritious snacks, meals for learners
Manila Bulletin
|April 15, 2025
Akati City Mayor and senatorial aspirant Abby Binay on Monday, April 14, vowed to push for free healthy snacks and meals in schools to address nutritional deficiencies among students as well as improve their overall academic performance.
She said the move is part of her proposed initiatives to further improve the country’s quality of education and stop its decline, stressing that the government must first focus on the basic needs of students which includes providing proper nutrition to them.
“Proper nutrition is essential for students to be able to study effectively. If they don’t receive the right nutrition, they will surely have a hard time to absorb the lectures being taught to them regardless if the teacher is highly skilled or not,” Binay explained.
