The Ministry of Education\u2019s policy is that only healthy eating must take place at our schools,\u201d Saint-Jean said.<\/p>\n<p>Saint-Jean also called for schools to focus on agriculture programmes in order to foster an appreciation for eating locally produced foods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the prevalence of unhealthy eating habits among our school aged children there must be a heavy emphasis on eating what we grow and growing what will be eaten here,\u201d Saint-Jean advised.<\/p>\n<p>Parliamentary Representative for the Roseau Valley, John Collin Mc Intyre, also urged the parents, who will serve as cooks at the school, to provide healthy snack and lunch options for their children.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Tezuka said the Japanese government was pleased to support the project under its GGP programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this project the Trafalgar Primary School will provide proper food for its students who might not have been able to access it. Nutritional balance is very important for a healthy lifestyle especially for children. I have no doubt that this project is truly one which helps meet basic human needs and we are very pleased that we can assist through the G.G.P,\u201d Tezuka said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile principal Watt said among the objectives of the project was to provide students with \u201csafe and comfortable eating accommodations\u201d and to help \u201cincrease students\u2019 academic performances since they will be having well-balanced meals prepared at the school\u2019s cafeteria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cafeteria will feature a kitchen and dining area, and will come equipped with a freezer and cooker.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is expected to be completed within five months of the start date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Construction will begin in March on a cafeteria at the Trafalgar Primary School funded under Japan\u2019s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Project (GGP).
