Parents and teachers in England are calling for free school meals for every primary student, citing the ongoing issue of classroom hunger. Rev Sandra Jones, a key figure in the campaign, emphasized that while basic food like a jam butty is better than nothing, children deserve more. The demand comes as the Labour Party conference begins, with advocates highlighting the moral and educational impact of food insecurity on young learners. The push for universal free meals aims to ensure that no child faces hunger during school hours, a situation that has sparked growing concern among educators and community leaders. The campaign reflects a broader debate on social welfare and the role of government in supporting vulnerable families.
