Parents complain that primary school meals are like 'for people on a diet'

On February 29, Facebook in Dak Lak province was abuzz with news that the boarding meals of a private elementary school in Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak province were for people "on a diet".

The information was posted by a parent whose child is studying at this private elementary school. According to the shared images, the meals at the private elementary school only have white rice, a small piece of fried egg, boiled vegetables, thin soup and half a banana.

This parent thinks that the above meal is too little and poor compared to the 3 million VND that must be paid monthly.

This parent even compared: "The lunch at an international elementary school is like a weight loss meal."

After posting, the above information attracted the attention and comments of many users.

The leaders of the private elementary school mentioned in the article said they had received feedback from parents.

However, this person said that the photo posted on social media was taken from quite a distance, so the portion of food looked small. In reality, there were more eggs and food in the photo.

The school said the meal was photographed from a distance, and in reality it looked more filling than in the photo.

"Currently, the school's Board of Directors is meeting to discuss and evaluate the overall problem to find an explanation for the information that parents have reported, " said the school's leader.

Meals are an agreement between parents and school.
The leader of the People's Committee of Buon Ma Thuot City, Dak Lak Province confirmed that the above-mentioned primary school is a private unit, operating independently and the monthly meals for students depend on the agreement between parents and the school.
Only when there is a reflection on poor food quality, unsafe food hygiene, affecting students' health, will the competent authorities intervene to handle the matter.
