IDIndonesia's government is evaluating the involvement of school canteens in the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program, which aims to provide food assistance to students in need. Education Minister Abdul Mu'ti stated that no final decisions have been made regarding the role of canteens and related support services, emphasizing the need for thorough assessments to ensure the program's effectiveness. The program will focus exclusively on students who require assistance, rather than all students. The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) will oversee the implementation, while the education ministry offers policy guidance. The initiative aligns with President Prabowo Subianto's goal of fostering a healthier generation free from stunting.
