Minister of Education and Technical Education Mohamed Abdel Latif met with World Food Program (WFP) Country Director and Egypt Representative Rawad Halabi and her accompanying delegation to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation and expand the partnership in the area of school nutrition programs.
This aims to support efforts to improve the quality of education, particularly in the most underserved regions.
Abdel Latif asserted that the Egyptian government gives great importance to school nutrition programs as one of the key pillars for improving students’ health infrastructure, boosting their academic performance and reducing school dropout rates.
He pointed out that the ministry aims to provide a school meal for every student.
This initiative has been studied in coordination with the Ministry of Social Solidarity as part of a broader human development framework. An initiative has been launched in collaboration with the Egyptian Food Bank to explore implementation mechanisms, especially in the most needy areas, contributing both to supporting families economically and serving the educational process.
The minister underscored the importance of joint cooperation to develop a comprehensive plan that includes the operational and logistical aspects related to providing safe, healthy meals for students in the most vulnerable areas.
For her part, Halabi expressed her appreciation for the close collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Technical Education.
She praised the ministry’s efforts in improving the education system and emphasized the importance of partnership with the ministry and the exchange of experiences in this field to achieve shared objectives.
