The various right-wing mayor of Mazamet (Tarn) has decided to apply a controversial measure in his municipality: from now on, children with at least one working parent will have priority to benefit from the school canteen. According to France 3 Occitaniewho reports his words, it would be a question of reserving this service for households who “do not have time to come home and prepare a meal”.
Two controversies in the canteen
A decision that is controversial among parents. One of them explains, for example, that he is actually stuck at home looking after his daughter rather than looking for a job. The mayor indicates for his part that in the event of a job interview, the child can be welcomed in the canteen if the parent presents proof.
The controversy adds to a first point of contention between the canteen and the parents of the students. At the start of the 2023 school year, canteen prices have increased by 20%. A meal now costs 4.80 euros in primary school and 4.60 euros in nursery school.
