"content": " Thank you, Hon Speaker. Indeed, this is a very important Motion. I want to thank Hon. Elsie for bringing it to the House. School feeding programme has worked well especially in jurisdictions where it has been embraced, like in Bangladesh. The programme resulted in a significant increase in school enrolment rates, reduced malnutrition and enhanced retention of students in schools. In a period of five years, between 2011 and 2016, the enrolment rate went high from 56,000 to 2.53 million students in Bangladesh, where this programme was implemented in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP). I support this Motion. I want to encourage the Member to go further and formulate a Bill so that we can develop a national government policy on school feeding programme and have a strategy for its implementation. This will enable us to maintain our children in schools, hence improving their academic results because children will be encouraged to stay in school. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
