Design: In this qualitative study, a single case study design was used to collect data through open-ended questionnaires, follow-up interviews and field notes. Subjects and setting: Principals and nutrition coordinators at five primary schools and three secondary township schools in Alexandra. Results: The findings highlight the importance of school nutrition programmes in contributing to a healthy learning environment. Principals and nutrition coordinators were clear about their management roles and responsibilities in the programme. The biggest challenges were the work overload of nutrition coordinators, a lack of training and inadequate food delivery. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the study recommends the implementation of a training programme for school principals and nutrition coordinators on time and human resource management to assist them in balancing teaching time and the management of food handlers, the appointment of a nutrition coordinator and collaboration with non-government organisations, volunteers and businesses to assist schools. Finally, this study reveals that the struggle for environmental justice to address shortage of nutritious food to feed needy learners remains valid and that school nutrition programmes, if managed properly, can make a crucial contribution in this regard. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
