Concerns raised over end of school holiday food vouchers

What happened: A head teacher has expressed worry after the government decided to stop providing food vouchers during school holidays.

Why it matters:

  • Children from low-income families may face increased food insecurity during holidays.
  • Schools and communities could see greater pressure to support vulnerable families.

MNN Take: The ending of holiday food vouchers removes a key support for families struggling to provide meals when school is out, potentially affecting child welfare and community resources.
