Free lunches for all schools?

Donna-Lee Biddle Reporter from Eastern Courier

From next year, Ōtara's Kia Aroha College will be feeding all their students for around $2 per day, per student. Staff say the benefits outweigh the financial cost. The Government will also be stepping in next year to feed primary and intermediate pupils from low-decile schools, but should they be extending this to all schools?
