Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos has announced the government's ambitious plan to expand the School Meals Programme (SMP), aiming to provide nutritious meals to 10 million children nationwide, up from the current reach of 2.6 million beneficiaries.
Speaking during the launch of 16 modern NG-CDF-funded classrooms constructed under the patronage of Wundanyi MP at Mbauro and Mghambonyi comprehensive schools in Wundanyi Constituency, Taita Taveta County, Migos reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind in accessing nutritious meals while at school. "There are some areas in our republic where schoolchildren are not getting that programme, although they deserve it.
Currently the programme covers 2.6 schoolchildren benefiting.
We have a plan to increase the programme until it reaches 10 million schoolchildren," said Migos.
