The Department of Education of Ca Mau City requires the leaders of Nguyen Dinh Chieu Primary School to prioritize the regime and food rations to ensure nutrition for students. When necessary, renegotiate the food supply contract with the parties.

The Department of Education and Training of Ca Mau City also directed the Principals and Board of Directors of schools in the area to increase their responsibility in managing boarding organizations, especially meals for students.

Previously, some parents whose children are studying at Nguyen Dinh Chieu Primary School reported that the quality of meals for their children at the school was not guaranteed. They saw their children losing weight and not being able to eat the food at school.

Through investigation, parents discovered that the school’s lunch menu only included: Rice, taro soup with meat, and duck stewed in coconut water. However, the duck meat portion was very small and there were a few small pieces of taro in the soup.

The previous photos recorded by the parents also showed a similar situation. The children's lunch consisted of only fried eggs and pumpkin soup with shrimp, with very modest quantities. Therefore, parents are worried about the health of their children with the meals provided by the school.

The principal of Nguyen Dinh Chieu Primary School - Nguyen Kim Hoi said that the school has received feedback from parents about the quality of meals and has also worked with the supplier. The supplier of the above meals is Ca Mau Guest House.
