The SEP promotes nutrition training for educational communities
The Secretary of Public Education (SEP) has called on school communities in Mexico to participate in training sessions on the Guidelines for the distribution and sale of food in educational institutions. These trainings will be broadcast until April 10 through the official YouTube channels: @canalsep and @prende_mx.
Inter-institutional collaboration for school health
The undersecretary of Basic Education, Angélica Noemí Juárez Pérez, highlighted that this initiative has the participation of experts from the Secretary of Health, Cofepris, the General Directorate @prende.mx and Unicef. As part of this strategy, public basic education schools are receiving the “Manual for food handlers in school environments”, available on the vidasaludable.gob.mx portal.
This document reflects the commitment of the Government of Mexico with the transformation of educational establishments into spaces that promote healthy habits. “It includes recommendations on permitted products and strategies to promote a balanced diet in children and adolescents,” the official explained.
Structure of training
The sessions are divided into two time blocks:
- 8:30 – 10:00 am: Aimed at those responsible for school cafeterias, with nutritional alternatives to replace processed foods.
- 11:00 – 12:00 hours: Aimed at managers and supervisors, to integrate this content in the classrooms and raise awareness about the risks of consuming products high in sugar.
The programming by federal entity was distributed from April 7 to 10, covering the 32 regions of the country in strategic groups.
