Abstract
The research article had the following objectives: 1) to investigate nutritional value in the school lunch program; and 2) to explore the perceived value of food sanitation in the school lunch program. The study employed a quantitative research method. The sample group consisted of primary school students from 4th to 6th grade, aged 8 to 12 years, enrolled in four different sizes of schools: extra-large schools (School A and School B), large schools (School C and School D), medium-sized schools (School E and School F), and small schools (School G and School H). The students were selected through accidental sampling. A questionnaire was used as the data collection tool, and percentages were used for data analysis.
From the study, the following results were found: 1) Most students perceived the value of food nutrition at a high level, with 98.25% indicating so, and the value of food sanitation at a high level, with 100% indicating so; and 2) Most students perceived the value of the school lunch program at a high level, with 78.24% indicating so.
