Free Breakfast Doesn’t Necessarily Improve Students’ Attention in Wales

“Dietary habits originate in childhood. This is effective as a dietary health intervention but does not appear effective as an educational intervention. The WAG has done an evaluation which is rarely done. Now we will learn what is effective.”
Teachers and teaching unions are divided. Teachers say being hungry affects attention and behaviour but some head teachers said schools should not have to provide breakfast.
The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers(NASUWT), a leading union warned as far back as three years ago that the £2.9m spent annually might be better spent directly on education.
It says that free breakfasts might be going to the wrong people and that those who most needed it could be losing out.
