Reopening schools: No decision on school canteens

11 Jun 2020

Although schools are scheduled to reopen on 29 June, school canteens will remain shut, Canteen Owners' Association Convener Asela Sampath said. “The decision makers of this country have no regard for how a child or teacher is to get their breakfast/lunch or their afternoon tea when schools reopen. Our canteen operators went to great lengths to include pulses, string hoppers, milk rice, and rice and curry in their menu to ensure that children and teachers are able to purchase nutritious meals,” Sampath opined. Sampath noted that the incomes of over 100,000 persons who supply food to school canteens are getting affected as a result of school canteens remaining shut. Moreover, when these canteens are in operation, the relevant Provincial Council Department of Education is able to earn millions of rupees in revenue. “Our canteens can operate under the health guidelines that are issued by the Ministry of Health. Therefore, we humbly request that they allow us to commence operations,” Sampath added. – Sarah Hannan
