city of Incheon and the city office of education paid 100,000 won for educational disaster assistance per student, and half of them were forced to buy packaged products sold by school catering companies.
However, the quality of some of the packaged products is messy, and the complaints of parents are growing.
Reporter Jeong Ban-seok covered it.

Mr. Lee, a parent of an elementary school student in Incheon, who received 100,000 won in educational disaster support from Incheon city last month.
I bought a fruit package worth 50,000 won after being explained that 50,000 won can only be used in an app called Incheon eum package mall provided by a food service provider.
But seeing the delivered fruit, Mr. Lee was disappointed.
[Mr. Lee/Parent of elementary school student in Incheon: I just opened the box, but when I saw it, I spread it white and crushed it all.
How do children eat this.
This is all from rotting now.] I
compared directly at a nearby mart how much the price of a fruit box with the same composition was.
Even considering that prices may vary depending on the distribution period, the fruits bought at the mart are large and fresh, but the combined price is cheaper.
When parents complained that they were expensive and had no items to buy, Incheon City explained that it was difficult for suppliers to meet the price because they had no online sales experience.
In addition, 27% of the 159 products were more than 10,000 won more expensive than the lowest online price, but 43% of the cheaper items were also revealed.
In order to achieve the effect of the policy to share the pain caused by COVID-19, careful management is necessary to increase the satisfaction of both suppliers and citizens.
