The Ministry of Education and Culture is still awaiting a report from a regional organisation that reviewed the school lunch programme instituted in 2011 at Elmore Stoutt High School, an official said.
A team from the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute visited the Virgin Islands in October to evaluate the programme’s cost and effectiveness, according to a report of the 2013 Standing Finance Committee’s deliberations.
Chief Education Officer Dr. Marcia Potter reportedly told the SFC in November that the CFNI’s report will be “forthcoming.”
Education and Culture Minister Myron Walwyn added that his ministry is “exploring ways on how to reform the lunch programme,” according to the SFC report
But to date, the results of the CFNI report have yet to be received, Colene Penn, a ministry information officer, said Wednesday.
