Indonesia, just like its neighbors, is willing to care for the welfare of its citizens, especially those in need and students.
But at the same time, Indonesia is trying to save its budget by planning to cut the number of recipients who receive free meals at school. Not all students will be cut, only some.
Those who are planned to be cut are the ones at elite schools and those who have school pocket money around 100,000 to 200,000 rupiah. While those who are still in the needy category will still receive the free meals.
The original mission of the free meals is to provide better nutrition for the students. It means, the new cut is focusing more on the original mission rather than focusing on the number of recipients.
