jpnn.comJAKARTA – The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is trialing free nutritious meals which is a program of President-elect Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
For the first time, a free meal trial was given to 498 students at the SDN Cideng 07 complex, consisting of 288 students from SDN 07 Cideng, 178 students from SDN Duri Pulo 04, 12 students from Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar Negeri 23, and 20 students from Kelompok Belajar Negeri 23.
Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono directly ensured that the process of providing free nutritious meals was in accordance with students’ needs.
“I want to see the delivery process mechanism, how the children eat, and ensure that the side dishes are nutritious, like earlier there was a request from the children for side dishes of omelets, fried eggs,” said Heru Budi as quoted from the official release from the City Hall, Monday (19/8).
Heru said that the trial of free nutritious meals would be carried out first at the Elementary School (SD) level at a price of IDR 15,000 per portion.
According to the Head of the Presidential Secretariat, the program not only provides food, but also pays attention to the quality and diversity of the menu.
“The menu price alone is Rp15,000, maybe there are additional costs for cooking, delivery, box costs, more or less maybe Rp20,000. What’s important is that the menu is good enough,” he said.
Heru Budi supports the program because it is hoped that students will have adequate nutritional intake, thus helping their growth and development as the nation’s next generation.
