Free school meals for all secondary school students

Petition Details

The government has a duty to ensure every child has access to a healthy meal. Yet many in secondary schools are unfairly denied this fundamental right. The result? Hunger, exhaustion, and lost focus—leaving them to fall behind through no fault of their own.

Additional Information

The current system is unfair—why should a child whose parents contribute more in taxes be denied free meals?
All children have the right to healthy meals.
Improving the system would ensure all children are treated equally.
This would boost academic achievement by increasing focus and alertness.
