The National Child Month Committee (NCMC) is encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers and the general public to ensure that children are treated extra special on National Children’s Day, Friday, May 20.

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Information will implement its National School Feeding Policy during the 2016/17 academic year. State Minister, Hon. Floyd Green, says the policy is part of the Government’s undertaking to ensure that children attending school are provided with the appropriate nutrition that will “improve (their) educational outcomes.”
