The first station of canteen management
Wuchuan County, Guizhou Province, the new farm has more than 200 primary school students, about one-third more than 3 km distance. Many children can not get home for dinner at noon. The new field of elementary school students in 2005, school had to pick up some food, noon to eat eat cold, more often with nothing, on an empty stomach one day of class.
Lunch is usually two prime soup, every few days can eat a meat dish back, despite the small dishes, but the food tube fed, water more freely deliberately foot, which a lot of students who are not well-off family, eating on such a meal is a good feeling.
"While the environment is very simple, but in rural primary schools in the county, should be regarded as the first to provide lunch." The new elementary school principal field Zou Ming Jin said.
When run canteens, schools everywhere to raise funds, many pots and pans and other cooking utensils are donated out of their own teachers. Day only 20 yuan subsidy for three cafeteria chefs are near the village, the basic obligation to help.
Students eat lunch need only pay 1.5 yuan. Schools not only failed to earn a penny, but rather a school crowding out of other funds. In order to save costs, canteen purchases must "preoccupied" to the villagers in vegetable prices as low as possible purchase. Many villagers complained that confused: your school too stingy, and even a few cents have clear enough.
Due to the success of school lunches love, for some neighboring brother school also specifically come to learn. Nevertheless, with rising prices, the price of 1.5 yuan lunch at persisted after six years it is difficult to maintain, last year was forced to price $ 1. Although the cost of 2.5 yuan and not that much, but for many of the villagers were not rich, it is not a small expenditure.
In 2011 the central government in accordance with the standard 3 yuan per student per day, providing nutritional and dietary supplement as a pilot area of rural compulsory education students. Had heard of these "feel good" 鄒校長 information is not optimistic. Due to the remote location and other reasons, the new field is difficult to be outside primary concern, the opportunity to come into contact with the outside world subsidy scheme is pitiful.
