Education budget for school feeding raised
The Ministry of Education announced that the budget for the school feeding project in Jordan has increased from 3.5 million Jordanian dinars to 6 million dinars, aiming to expand the program and improve nutrition for more than half a million students by 2030. The program includes two models: the first involves distributing biscuits filled with dates and fortified with protein, targeting 400,000 students; the second provides healthy meals that include fruits and vegetables, currently benefiting 100,000 students, with projections to increase this number to 250,000. The government funds part of the project in collaboration with the World Food Programme and private sector organizations. Follow-up visits are conducted to ensure adherence to health standards, with special attention given to students with allergies and specific nutritional needs.
