Food Hygiene In School
Education in India is provided
by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding
coming from three levels: central, state, and local. Public/government schools:
Most schools in India are funded and run by the government.
However, the public education
system faces serious challenges, including a lack of adequate infrastructure,
insufficient funding, a shortage of staff and scarce facilities.
What is food hygiene?
Food hygiene are the
conditions and measures necessary to ensure the safety of food from production
to consumption.
The 13th of July
2013, in Patna, 22 children died to have eaten in their canteens. The food was
served in receipt with chemical problems.
More recently,the 25th
of February 2016, in Mumbai, 100 children went at the hospital after having
mid-day meal in a government school. No one died but that it would have be a
tragedy.
The hygiene problem is always
the same, people have to eat with her hand. They don't have plates, spoons and
forks to eat.And it is not always clean. People are not informed about hygiene.
Things have to chance to
ameliorate hygiene conditions. If nothing changes,the parents won’t send their
children to school if they know their children will die. Consequence:decrease
of Indian alphabetization.
Is it normal to send children to school and there are risks of disease,
infection and malnutrition?
The government has put a new
condition to help poor families to send children to school. The program is to
pay the canteen for all families. This is a very good thing happening.
A kid who doesn't like the
food, doesn't eat. Children should have the choice of what they want to eat to ameliorate
malnutrition problem.
On the TV, the government
should tell to the population how they can ameliorate hygiene condition at
schools and at home. If the government does this television program, everyone
could change their provided hygiene and India will be less sick.
Heeals needs your support and
volunteers to change to improve the living conditions. Your action, even the smallest,
will change the life of Indian people.
