Sabah NGO asks why so much for breakfast as not all pupils need it, money better spent elsewhere

All pupils in government and government-aided primary schools for both morning and afternoon sessions will be enjoying free breakfast from 2020.

KOTA KINABALU: The free breakfast scheme for all 2.7mil primary pupils nationwide starting next year might not be the best unifying factor that the Education Ministry hopes it is, says Community Empowerment Initiative Sabah (CEI).

The NGO said the scheme is not a pressing issue as not all 2.7mil pupils need it, and there are already existing food schemes in place to help underprivileged students.
