Barbados is set to launch the School Nutrition Policy next week.
The Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Wellness and other stakeholders, will host the launch and a press conference at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology in Wildey, St Michael on Wednesday.
The policy was developed as a guide for school administrators, teachers, canteen concessionaires and vendors to plan healthy meals and snacks for students.
Its overall goal is to create healthy school environments that enhance student learning.
The Barbados School Nutrition Policy is expected to be introduced to all schools this academic year 2022-2023, and in a phased approach.
