Importance Of School Canteen

Hello friends Teachers & Students, best regards to all of us.


The school, which is an educational institution and also organizes teaching and learning activities, is a place where there are several suggestions and supporting infrastructure. This cannot be separated from the need for such supporting facilities, for example, classrooms as a place for students to learn, office or teacher space as a place for educators, library space as a place to find reading and reading, Student Health Unit space as a place for student treatment, student toilets, and teacher toilets and canteens are also included in it.


On this occasion, I would like to discuss a little about the existence of canteens and snacks in it, as a place where all people in the school can buy and also enjoy their break time with food and drinks available there. Of course, in a way, it is selected and purchased in advance.

We all know what a canteen is and its functions, to recall it would be nice for me to mention what a canteen is at school.


Canteen

The school canteen is a place of business that provides food and drinks that are sold to teachers and students, sometimes also open to the public to have a canteen with a large capacity, school canteens are generally in every school. In principle, school canteens must prioritize healthy food and drinks for sale, which will later be consumed by the entire school community. Healthy eating and drinking for purchase must be hygienic from various germs, safe from various ingredients for making these foods and drinks, and nutritious in terms of benefits. Which is of course free of excess food coloring, excess flavoring agents, and most importantly free of preservatives. Another thing is, of course, the state of the canteen itself, which must be far from landfills, and toilets and also clean and comfortable to be a place for all people to enjoy the food and drinks they buy.

Canteen function

The school canteen itself has an important function in its existence so that the function can support the learning process of students in terms of meeting the needs of the school community. Broadly speaking, the function of the school canteen is:

  1. Supporting school health is the first important function, which can provide nutritious and healthy food and drinks. This will help the growth, development, and health of the entire school community, both teachers and students.
  2. Supporting education is the second function, where the canteen can be used as a learning resource for students to socialize as a source of knowledge about healthy food and drinks, and even a place to gain experience in terms of entrepreneurship.
  3. Developing school cooperatives is another function, some schools will work with school cooperatives to manage cooperative funds, which will bring benefits to the development of school cooperatives.

Because the purpose and sorry canteen is closely related to the availability of food and drinks for the entire school community, then all the snacks that are sold in the canteen are always the concern of the school to see and check periodically. Snacks that do not meet the elements of good health usually will be banned from sale. In addition to the adverse effects on the health of students and teachers, snacks that are not suitable will bring health problems long enough in the future.

The last case that occurred in Indonesia related to snacks has just happened, several children from several regions had to be rushed to the hospital because of suspected poisoning or having problems after consuming viral snacks from China, namely Latiao. For the following related information, you can see the post below :

To overcome and avoid bad things that might happen to food and drinks contained in the cafeteria, the safety of the school cafeteria is the responsibility of the entire school community. It is also the duty and responsibility of the principal who acts as a leader and also the manager of the cafeteria who plays a direct role in maintaining food safety at school. Of course, it is helped by the unique health of students at school, and no less important is the provider of school children's snacks itself, which acts as a seller in the school environment and school canteens.

In the end, the school canteen is not only a place or infrastructure that supports the quality of education in terms of healthy food and beverage providers in schools, but also a source of knowledge about all forms of health related to food.
