OVER the last week we have seen social media networks awash with pictures of the school dinner hampers that have been supplied by external catering companies to replace free school meals.
Although the contents seen in the majority of these “hampers” were a disgrace, external companies providing in school catering at mass profits in not a new occurrence. The privatisation of education and services within the sector including academisation has been increasing at a tremendous rate. Huge companies are making a profit from your child attending school, in many cases at the detriment of the children.
Following the outrage, the government has made another U-turn and replaced the hampers with vouchers — welcomed by many — but I say it is simply no where near enough.
