The crisis has made schools in a last ditch against hunger in too many cases. For months, the directors of schools warned that Andalusian lunch offered to the school is the only hot meal a day doing some minors. With six of 100 children Andalusians in extreme poverty, the Andalusian announced Thursday that within a few weeks, approved a decree to combat social exclusion. Among the measures envisaged are using the network for schools in the community to ensure that children whose families are at extreme eat at least three times a day: breakfast, lunch and snack.
"Many parents tell us that the food they do now in school is essential," said Miguel Rosa Castejon, director of the San José Obrero public school, where school students from disadvantaged areas of Seville. "We are seeing what were anecdotal and specific situations is a problem now affecting larger groups as attested administrations and NGOs," says Marta Arias, Director of Advocacy and Policy Children Unicef Spain. 180 children daily lunch at school headed by Miguel Rosa Castejón. And a hundred of them work for free.
The Ministry of Education has established a bonus system for school meals. According to the Department of Mar Moreno, 50% of the estimated 200,000 children who eat daily in the network of schools in the community makes it free thanks to grants, which are given in terms of income. Education spend monthly 7.5 million to service dining. And the forecast is upward. This counseling will reach 8.5 million by the end of the course.
School and child poverty Scraps
Dining Aids. Earlier this year, public school parents (Ceapa) and concerted (Concapa) warned that the cuts between 30% and 50% in aid for school meals cause an extreme situation for many families.
No Access. No official updated figures for Spain, but some communities data confirm the fears of parents. In the Canary Islands, where he became one study, it was found that 12,000 children were withdrawn from the canteen because they could not afford it. In Catalonia, according to a January survey Red Cross, 38% of the vulnerable families can not pay for that service.
Wide range of prices. School Menu prices vary greatly between different regions, from 2.6 USD a day in the Canary Islands or the 3.96 in La Rioja, to 6.20 in 6.50 in Catalonia and Navarra, according to a study Ceapa parents confederation.
Textbooks. The other major setback for many families is the cutting aid textbooks and materials. The sector employers, ANELE, estimated last year dropped 75%, from 200 million euros to 50 million.
Since the crisis started, it has boosted the number of families entitled to bonus in the community. The 20% of students paid nothing in 2008 through the dining room, 30 points less than this year.
Still does not know how many children will the new Andalusian plan three meals a day, but sources have stressed that the Board is directed to families "at risk of social exclusion" and middle classes with an impoverishment ensued. That is, they will not reach the estimated 100,000 children who have the complimentary room service now thanks to the bonus.
The announcement of the plan against exclusion was made on Thursday the Andalusia of the Presidency, Susana Diaz, in an interview with Cadena SER. His department is in charge of coordinating this decree, which affects several areas of government.
Diaz has indicated that the extent of the three daily meals will apply from Monday to Friday. The money must come out of the game of 16 million is appropriated in the budget this year to Andalusian "food solidarity". The Government's intention Andalusian PSOE and IU share, is also to ensure that game through proper nutrition to the elderly in situations of exclusion. To do this, we will use the network of daily and non-governmental organizations.
5,000 people have been left out of home care following recent changes in the central government
The overall budget is managed to implement the decree law against exclusion plan, which is expected to approve the April 30-is 100 million. The largest item (60) is used to develop the Law Unit, which is facing serious problems due to lack of funds. The idea is that the Board, through the municipalities, employment is created linked to the municipal social services. Diaz recalled that about 5,000 people have been left out of home care following recent changes introduced by the central government.
The third measure that will launch the Board with the decree is an improvement of access to basic income. What I intend to do the Andalusian government, according to Diaz, is to resolve applications within three months. This basic income, which seeks to establish a minimum level of income, is an old aspiration of IU PSOE partner in the Government of Andalusia since the last regional elections. Diego Valdez, Vice President of the Board and IU regional leader, also said yesterday the commitment to offer a job within "three to 15 months" to families who need it most.
60 million will go to build the Dependency Law, stopped by lack of funds
The decree of social exclusion, the preparation of which is finishing now, is part of the measures they have decided to launch these two parties to mitigate the effects of the crisis. First was the decree on housing, which provides home use expropriation to prevent releases. Now comes this new plan and is awaiting a regional tax reform.
However, the socialist Minister Susana Diaz stressed the importance of combating the effects that the crisis is having on the children through the plan of the three daily meals.
The idea of using the schools network as food safety cushion and has implemented the Government of the Canary Islands. The executive Paulino Rivero (Canary Coalition) announced a few weeks ago to open in summer 132 schools to over 8,000 school children can take their lunch in the dining center. The extent to which allocated 1.2 million, also was part of a social action plan.
However, this safety net is breaking in many areas of Spain. The representatives of the families of public school students (Ceapa) and concerted (Concapa) warned at the beginning of course that communities had imposed a cut of between 30% and 50% in aid for the school canteen, what was left in an extreme situation for many families. And, a few days ago, one of the Catalan employers dining services, Acellec, noted that the number of students using the cafeteria in Catalan hospitals has fallen about 20% this year. This association put it down to the loss of family resources, lack of scholarships dining and the VAT increase to 21% of the school menu. Although he also recognized that the decline had been particularly high school students, after this year 70% of Catalan institutions to opt for intensive day.
