Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Mr Edward Chia Bing Hui, Holland-Bukit Timah GRC
Question
To ask the Minister for Education in light of the schools in Zhenghua facing challenges in securing canteen vendors, resulting in limited food options, whether the Ministry is considering alternative service models to consistently provide healthy and affordable student meals.
Response
1. Most schools, including those in Zhenghua, have canteen stalls providing healthy and affordable meals for students. From time to time, some schools do face challenges finding stallholders, for example when stallholders retire.
2. Some schools already use a pre-order meal service model. MOE will continue to support schools in providing healthy and affordable meals for students, including through alternative service models.
