Elena Zelenskaya told how, thanks to the reform of school nutrition, students provide quality food despite the war

On the basis of schools, IDPs were organized for IDPs in different corners of Ukraine. Elena Zelenskaya emphasized the main directions in which the reform of this year was moving. 1. The necessary prerequisites for starting construction work of a kitchen factory in Bucha were obtained to provide quality fresh food for educational institutions in the region.

The philanthropist Buffett, the American Philanthropus and Businessman, the son of the famous investor Warren Buffett, became the patron of the project. “Mr Buffet told me that he wanted to participate in the restoration of Ukraine. They decided to start with education and even in the de -industrial region that suffered the most suffered from Russian invaders, ”the first lady said.

The main consumers of products of the new kitchen factory will be schools and establishments of pre-school education of three communities: Buchan, Nemishayev, Borodyanskaya. Production capacities can be transmitted or expanded to meet the needs of any segments of the population. In particular, the company will be able to feed temporarily displaced persons and locals.

“So in wartime our school reform returns, because it is within it that we planned to build powerful enterprises that will feed not one institution but a number. And this is part of our plan for the restoration of Ukraine, because it is necessary to start rebuilding now, ”Olena Zelenskaya said. The cane factory in Bucha will work on September 1, 2023. It will become a pilot project, and in the future network of cuorial factories will be extended to the whole territory of Ukraine.

Each of them will be able to provide food to 30-40 educational institutions. 2. Despite the war, the development of personnel potential continues: the Directorate of Vocational Education of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Directorate of Public Health and Prevention Estonian Republic (Narno) education and youth have implemented cooking programs.

In particular, a series of trainings for teachers-cu an institutions of vocational education have taken place, which will transfer their knowledge to the chefs of schools and preschools. There have already been 230 couquar teachers from six regions of Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Lviv, Poltava, Rivne and Kherson). 3. A thousand support schools will receive donor assistance from UNICEF in the amount of $ 2,000. USA for inventory and dining equipment. 4.

With the support of the Ukrainian-Swiss DECIDE program, a series of strategic sessions "School Reform: In the Conditions of Martial Law" was held on the need to provide quality and full nutrition in educational institutions that work in the Russian invasion during the Russian invasion.

"It is important that under such difficult conditions, education institutions are able to organize nutrition and at the same time - that the quality and safety of nutrition does not deteriorate," the first lady said. Elena Zelenskaya emphasized the importance of safety, because during the educational process air anxiety is possible, when not only children and teachers, but also the staff of school canteens should be in storage for indefinite time.

Therefore, clear and clear rules are needed to help employees of food blocks at critical moments: how to feed children if cooking was suspended when the technological processes can be restored and when not, etc. The reform team develops the following recommendations. 5.

The training of chefs and filling and development of the portal "know" will continue. "Let's know" is an Internet club for all participants in the process.

Educators will find everything about new standards of healthy and delicious school lunches. After all, before changing something, you need to learn yourself. For parents, there is a separate section on how to teach healthy eating at home. That is to continue what started at school.

And students learn about the right and at the same time a delicious snack and will be able to test their knowledge with the help of tests and games, ”Olena Zelenskaya said the interrupted by the Russian attack, the communication campaign on reform. “When we launched reform for war, we sought to inform your parents, teachers and students as much as possible. To tell what it means to eat useful, qualitatively and at the same time delicious.

So, the campaign will continue, but of course, it will already be adapted to the conditions of today, ”the first lady said. 7.
