3. How to view the new regulations of the Ministry of Education

1. How to view the new regulations of the Ministry of Education? The accompanying meal system is an initiative that is beneficial to both children and the school. First of all, it can ensure the children's dietary health. At the same time, it can also ensure the school's system and the operating standards of the canteen.

2. For schools that strictly implement the meal companionship system, they can first win the hearts of parents, allow parents to put their children on campus with confidence, promote the school’s enrollment rate, and at the same time win a good reputation. .

3. Since children in primary and secondary schools are relatively young, they do not know much about dietary taboos. Therefore, some eating problems will occur more or less. Coupled with the irregular operation of the canteen, some children are unable to distinguish the rawness and doneness of the food. Therefore, there is a certain risk to the children's health. If an adult is with you every day, you can reduce this risk and ensure your child's dietary health.

4. By eating with students, school leaders can not only understand the real situation of students' meals in time, but also help to shorten the distance with students, deepen their understanding of students, and enhance their emotions with students.

Therefore, the "meal accompanying system" has built a new bridge between school leaders and students.
