APCOI: only 10 euros needed to improve school meals

SAPO Notícias29 August 2026 at 15:15

The Parents and Community Association of Oeiras (APCOI) argues that only 10 euros per year is needed to significantly improve school meals. The association calls for a minimal investment that would allow for more balanced and nutritious meals for students.

APCOI has been raising awareness among the competent authorities about the importance of healthy eating in the school context. The organization believes that with a small financial contribution, concrete improvements could be introduced in the quality of meals served in schools.

This initiative comes within the scope of a broader debate about the quality of meals in Portuguese schools. The association emphasizes that the benefits of improved eating far outweigh the cost of the necessary investment, contributing to the health and well-being of students.
