One-egg-a-day scheme improves pupils' diets
Students wait to get their free eggs for breakfast in the canteen at Shidian Central Primary School, Haiyuan, a town known for water scarcity and poor agriculture outputs, in Zhongwei city of Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region on May 25, 2011. The school started a scheme to provide one egg a day to its 538 students with 8.22 million yuan ($1.26 million) fiscal support from local government this year. Local government has allocated 46.88 million ($7.23 million) this year to expand the free-breakfast programme across the town, with an estimated 375,000 beneficiaries among rural primary schools over Haiyuan town.[Photo/CFP]
