Well, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and in this case it’s funded by taxes.
💡 The idea is to give children more equal conditions for learning, that no one should go hungry in school.
Hot school lunches are provided to all students aged 6 to 16 and most of the students aged 16 to 19, five days a week.
