Indonesia Reverses Free School Meals Program
Asia Nikkei·
The Indonesian government is reportedly scaling back President Prabowo Subianto’s flagship free school meals program, citing fiscal 'efficiencies.' This policy shift indicates a potential reversal or significant modification of the initiative, which was a key campaign promise. The decision suggests a reevaluation of government spending priorities and the financial sustainability of large-scale social programs. The move could impact millions of students who rely on the program for daily nutrition, raising concerns about food security and educational support.
