in the new semester, beijing has launched six major actions, one of which is to focus on campus meals. according to the situation of different schools, the school may implement the "bucket meal to class" meal distribution method, provide unified tableware to reduce the burden on students, or use the smart canteen system to allow students to order meals in advance, so that students can eat more hygienically, nutritiously, healthily and safely at school.
schools that provide meals outside the school have realized "bucket meals to classes", and students can eat hotter meals
at 11:50 am on september 2, it was lunch time for students at beijing primary school guangnei branch. the food delivery staff came to the classroom with a food cart, food bucket and new tableware. after locking the food cart, the head teacher and the young volunteers began to serve the food to the students. "we don't want to eat boxed lunches anymore!" the new changes in the first meal of the new semester made the children feel novel and happy.
the dining method of beijing primary school guangnei branch has changed. in the new semester, all primary and secondary schools in the city that provide lunch with off-campus meals have achieved full coverage of "bucket meals to class". delivering lunch directly to the classroom not only ensures the temperature of the food, but also better preserves the taste and nutritional content of the dishes, making the taste better, so that students can eat with peace of mind and happiness.
"in order to let students eat hot and better-tasting lunch, all cadres and teachers brainstormed, conducted on-site drills, and optimized the distribution process. to this end, the school also carried out tiered training for all teachers, class teachers, and meal distribution volunteers." shao haipeng, the school's food safety director, party branch member, and vice principal, told reporters, "scientific design and sufficient preparation ensure that every link of 'bucket meals to class' is foolproof."
at yongning school in yanqing district, the school also equipped each class with insulated soup buckets, dining buckets, cooking utensils, tableware, and separate dining tables, and planned their placement in a unified manner. before the meal started, students from each class collectively elected the four best students of the day to serve the meals. under the demonstration of the class teacher, the students in charge of serving the meals wore gloves, masks, aprons, and hats to serve the meals, while the other students lined up to get their meals. the entire dining process was harmonious and orderly. xin jiaojiao, the parent of zhu zimo, a student in class 3 (4), came to the school to accompany her children for the meal that day. she said, "i don't have to worry about my child's eating problems at school anymore. the 'bucket meal to class' method of serving meals is really good."
in miyun district, there are 18 schools that provide meals from outside. the district education commission organized the schools and relevant personnel to conduct a field visit to the south campus of chaoyang district experimental primary school, and held an on-site "bucket meals in class" work promotion meeting to learn, exchange ideas, promote pilot projects, and share experiences. after the start of the school year, all schools successfully implemented "bucket meals in class".
in addition, in order to reduce the burden on students and parents, starting from the new semester, beijing encourages and advocates schools to provide students with unified tableware. for schools that do not have the conditions, they need to continue to explore and gradually achieve the goal of providing unified tableware for all. "the school provides tableware, which is a measure for the safety and hygiene of students' meals." a relevant person in charge of the beijing municipal education commission said, "of course, if parents and students do not want to use the tableware provided by the school, they can also bring their own tableware. we adhere to the principle of voluntariness."
with the help of the smart canteen system, students can freely order food in advance
colorful vegetable fried rice, stir-fried broccoli, two fish-flavored chicken fillets... at 12:03 p.m. on september 2, wan yuxi from class 3, grade 2 of guangqumen middle school was sitting at the dining table, enjoying a delicious lunch with her friend zhang ruotong. "there's rice and vegetables," wan yuxi told reporters with a smile. this meal was ordered on the school's smart canteen ordering system last weekend before school started. "we've already selected the menu for this week."
zhang ruotong chose a bowl of beef ramen. "it's delicious, and there are many types we can choose from, five or six, including rice and noodles." zhang ruotong said as she ate. for boys with a big appetite, what if one bowl of ramen is not enough? the reporter learned that the school has also opened a free refill mode, and students can choose how much to refill.

"the establishment of the smart canteen has changed the single choice of one set meal in the past to a multiple set meal that can be chosen independently now." fu juan, the school's food safety management director and vice principal, told reporters, "after students make a reservation, they can pick up their meals by swiping their cards at school every day. since the system went online, it has been well received by students and parents."
like guangqumen middle school, there are many schools that are actively building smart canteens.
chaoyang school, affiliated middle school of northeast normal university, is the first smart canteen school in chaoyang district. the school adopts the smart canteen system to provide meals to students in the form of advance ordering. currently, the school is trialing the smart canteen method, which has increased the speed at which students pick up meals in the canteen.
so far, xicheng district has achieved 100% coverage of "internet + open kitchen" in campus canteens, established a smart platform to ensure that there are no dead corners or blind spots in key areas of the school, and further improved the effectiveness of supervision and inspection and early warning response capabilities. the smart platform also realizes intelligent supervision and alarms such as face recognition of kitchen staff through video ai algorithms, intelligent analysis of compliance of wear, intelligent monitoring of indoor temperature and humidity, and alarms for stove fire temperature monitoring without anyone, and can generate data and form pictures to facilitate problem tracking and processing.
some schools invite outside members, parents and students to have lunch together
at noon on september 2, the reporter saw a label "meal accompanying" on one of the tables in the cafeteria of guangqumen middle school. at the same time, there was also a form that detailed the tasks of the meal accompanier, which required "looking at", "smelling", "asking" and "tasting" the lunch, and timely recording other opinions from students.
the meal inspection includes more than ten items, including whether the student meals are consistent with the recipe, whether the tableware has been disinfected, whether the surface is clean and uncontaminated, whether there is any damage, whether there are foreign objects in the food, whether the food tastes fresh, whether the food is too cold, etc.
the reporter learned that the system of school-level leaders accompanying students for meals is another measure taken by beijing to promote school meals this year. before the start of the school year, in order to further standardize the management of primary and secondary school canteens and off-campus catering in primary and secondary schools, the beijing municipal education commission and five other departments jointly issued a series of systems and work guidelines, including the "beijing primary and secondary school canteen management measures". according to the requirements, in the new semester, each school should formulate a meal-accompanying plan, and each meal should be eaten by members of the school leadership team and students.

cai lei, party secretary and chief principal of guangqumen middle school education group, said that with the start of the new semester, the principal's lunch companionship will change from passive to active. "we are also planning to conduct it in the form of 'principal appointment' in the future, so that students can have lunch with the principal and chat about various topics."
in addition to school leaders accompanying students for meals, some schools also invite off-campus members of the school meal committee and parents to come to the school and have lunch with the students, in order to push campus meal work to a higher level.
at beijing jingshan school yuanyang branch, the school has set tuesdays in the first three weeks of each month as parent-accompanying-meal days. in the last week, the school collects and sorts out the opinions of parents, the school and other parties and conveys them to the catering company. parents who accompany meals are recommended by the school's harmony management committee, which is responsible for catering work, and strives to cover all.
"we invite parents of students of different grades to visit the school canteen once a week to see the processing process and have lunch with the students," said a relevant person in charge of yandan school in changping district, beijing. "the three parties, including the school and the community, jointly urge teachers and students to implement the "clean plate" campaign, and hold class meetings on the theme of loving and saving food from time to time."
"the establishment of the meal-accompanying system will help school leaders pay more attention to school food safety and nutrition and health management, and truly shoulder the important responsibility for school food safety." a relevant person in charge of the municipal education commission said, "the principal can communicate closely with students, understand their true evaluation of the quality of meals on the spot, and experience the difficulties of students' meals firsthand, so as to identify the direction and difficulties of improvement in school canteens, and better improve the quality of campus meals, so as to further make students eat with satisfaction and parents feel at ease."
