    A nod of approval for the KidsCan school lunches scheme

    A nod of approval for the KidsCan school lunches scheme


    A Ministry of Education ECE report shows consistent near-100 percent satisfaction scores for reliability, food safety, and communication.

    KidsCan CEO Dame Julie Chapman says it costs two dollars per meal, on average - under their not-for-profit model.

    She says these are cohorts of 30 to 50 kids, rather than hundreds or potentially thousands of kids under the Government's scheme.
