In Edogawa Ward, due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, we closed the municipal elementary and junior high school from March 2.
The school has been gradually restarted from the 1st of this month, and meals will be provided as usual from next week.
On the other hand, during the school holidays, there were many voices saying that the household burden on child-rearing households was increasing due to the fact that many families were spending too much on food and other expenses and their parents' income was reduced.
For this reason, Edogawa Ward has decided to provide free school meals for the first semester of elementary and junior high schools.
Approximately 39,000 people, excluding children and students who attend municipal elementary and junior high schools and are covered by public expenses for school lunch, the ward costs about 440 million. We will include the yen in the supplementary budget and submit it to the ward assembly to be held on the 22nd of this month.
