In Japan, the modern school lunch system was improved after the establishment of the school lunch law in 1954, and now over 98% of boys and girls in primary schools and over 85% of junior high school pupils have lunch at their schools. In this report, the beneficial effect of this system is pointed out. This system contributes to an improvement of the physical condition of these children and it is very effective for improving the relationship between teachers and children. Knowledge concerning food, nutrition and food hygiene has also improved.
School meals are a valuable opportunity to provide children with a nutritious meal and to teach children about healthy eating. It is a service on which many children, and parents, still rely. Since 1980, however, school meals have not had to meet any minimum nutritional standards and the service has become increasingly cost-orientated due to budget constraints. Gill Cawdron looks at the school nurse's role in relation to two initiatives in school meals: the School Meals Campaign and the School Meals Assessment Project.
