"Today, both the education system, and Rospotrebnadzor, and the regions are ready to implement the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation to provide free hot meals to all primary school students," TASS quoted him as saying at the All-Russian Parents' Meeting.
Earlier, the Ministry of Education announced the readiness of schools for the school year.
In early August, it became known that the Russian government in 2020-22 will allocate about 100 billion rubles to 57 Russian regions to provide primary school students with free hot meals.
