Citing public complaints regarding differentiated meals at the Salesianos school in Manique, Cascais, and the “stigma” reported by students under the public scheme, the Livre party has submitted a resolution to Parliament. They are calling for the Inspectorate-General of Education and Science to inspect all schools with association contracts to ensure all students receive nutritionally adequate meals, and are proposing the hiring of nutritionists for school clusters. Livre notes that the state pays 1.46 euros per meal, a rate unchanged for a decade, which party leader Paulo Muacho calls “incomprehensible.” The proposal seeks to update public funding to prevent discriminatory treatment based on a student's enrollment status. Education Minister Fernando Alexandre suggested that the core issue may be the coexistence of private and state-funded regimes within the same school.
