    "content": "On lunch and other meals in school, if parents so wish, they can give out money for that. We have said it is optional and the rates charged must be reasonable. If one does not want to pay, but carry food from home, it is still okay. If they do not want to take lunch in school, they should not be forced. That is why we said it must remain optional and where some money is charged, then it has to be reasonable. With regard to uniform, we said those advancing to junior secondary schools should continue using the primary school uniform they had until such a time when the parents are able to purchase a new set of uniform. What used to happen before is that schools insisted that they procure uniforms. It was a centralised kind of system and since the end of last year, we issued a circular that they give out information about the uniform required. That way, parents are at liberty to procure the same from any source as long as it matches the requirements the school has set out."
