School catering

Comprehensive schools, upper secondary schools and technical colleges offer free school lunches on school days. The lunch includes a hot meal with side dishes, salad, bread and drinks.

Lunch is served flexibly between 10.30 a.m. and noon.

The aim is that all comprehensive school students in grades 7-9 have the opportunity to eat a snack from the beginning of 2005. This snack, which must be paid for, is served at 1 p.m.

Schools that offer afternoon club activities for first- and second-graders offer a free snack for children participating in the club.
