The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has rolled up its sleeves to modernize school cafeterias.

The Office of Education announced on the 5th that following last year's investment of 149.5 billion KRW in 116 schools (133.8 billion KRW), it is currently investing 149.5 billion KRW this year to carry out projects to create comfortable cafeteria environments in 155 schools across the province.

The cafeteria modernization project comprehensively considers factors such as space availability and aging of cafeterias that are over 10 years old, and involves tasks such as dividing work zones, installing cafeterias in schools without dining halls, and installing efficient equipment.

This year, the Office of Education completed the modernization of the school cafeteria at Dongan High School in Anyang City by investing 2.2 billion KRW as of May.

Also, in September, it invested 2.4 billion KRW in Munsan-dong Elementary School in Paju City to divide cafeteria zones and convert classroom meal distribution to cafeteria meal distribution by adding 412 seats.

An official from the Office of Education stated, "Through the school cafeteria modernization project, we are preventing cross-contamination by separating pre-processing rooms, cooking rooms, and washing rooms, and especially improving ventilation facilities to enhance the working environment for cafeteria staff," adding, "We will continue to do our best to modernize school cafeterias."
