The School Fruit Scheme finds 90% approval rate among parents; 77% of children like the fruit they are given
The most impressive outcome of the EU scheme is that it has positively affected the food habits of children at home as well. This is the intended long-term goal of the School Fruit Scheme that is part of EU policies to improve public health.
The findings come from research on the effectiveness of the scheme performed by sociologists from the Alpha Research Agency. It is based on 8, 300 interviews with children and parents. The data shows that the scheme reached 58% of kindergartens and 42% of schools during its first year of application, or a total of 2, 000 schools and kindergartens. It is successful because children do not resist it – they love fruit and vegetables. Another reason for its success is the big support it finds among parents.
The data also shows a decrease in the consumption of sandwiches, chips and pastry snacks. A total of 800 tons of fruit and vegetables were distributed during school year 2010/2011. According to 88% of participating schools, the scheme must continue, while 96% of schools who were not a part of it also want to participate. The budget of the School Fruit Scheme is 3.6 million leva. The funding comes from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and the state budget.
The findings and recommendations of the Alpha Research team have already been put in use by State Fund Agriculture (SFA). Currently, SFA experts are considering different ways of improving hygiene in schools that do not have canteens or other suitable places for eating. There is also an idea to create a special website for the scheme that would combine all information that candidates need to apply.
The most important recommendation – to simplify requirements – has already caused changes in the decree that regulates the rules and conditions for implementing the scheme.
