" It will help " the most modest families whose budget may be destabilized by the closure of school canteens, said Wednesday the Minister of Agriculture and Food Didier Guillaume. They " will not be able to provide balanced and sufficient food for their children ", he stressed during a press point after the Council of Ministers.
" We are obviously working on this at government level ," said the minister, stressing that this had to be done " in conjunction with local communities ".
In many schools, canteen prices are decreasing according to family income and can go as far as free, allowing pupils from the most modest families to eat for often modest sums.
