(Dan Tri) - In 2024, some principals will proactively resign or be prosecuted because of "unstable" school meals.
School meals have always made parents worried because of the risk of food safety and the lack of minimum quantity.
Usually, school meal scandals are reported at the high school level. However, recently, a meal during the National Defense and Security Education semester at the Polytechnic University was reported by students to have leftovers and foreign objects, shocking many people.
According to some new students of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, leftover rice and soup from each table's bowl from the previous meal were collected, mixed, poured into trays and continued to be distributed to the units that came to eat later.
In particular, some students reported seeing many foreign objects in meals, causing many to be scared and have to buy bread to eat.

Regarding the incident, immediately afterwards, the Government Office sent a document to the Minister of Education and Training, conveying the Deputy Prime Minister's opinion on urgently directing the inspection and strict handling of violations related to the information reported by the press, and directing the inspection and strict handling of violations according to regulations.
Female principal in Son La resigns after reflecting on "many shortcomings" of boarding meals
After reflecting on the "many shortcomings" of the boarding meals, recently Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha, Principal of Nam Ty Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities (Song Ma District, Son La) wrote a resignation letter and was accepted by the People's Committee of this district.
Specifically, the weekly menu at this school consists almost exclusively of rice, soup, boiled duck eggs and fried sausages.
Some meals are "improved" with meat dishes that are more fatty than lean or frozen chicken dishes. For the past two months, the school has removed milk from the students' daily menu.
According to the results of a surprise inspection by the authorities, the school's meals are not nutritious enough for the amount of money the students spend on food.
