Abstract

The contribution of regular school-based feeding programs cannot be underestimated. An investigation into whether a school-based feeding program (SBFP) can improve the intervention status, academic performance, and overall development of elementary school children. For this investigation, studies have been conducted on nutrition status, academic performance, and general development. The experiments were performed using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating measurements of food and physical activity, academic achievement records, and interviews with teachers and beneficiaries. Results showed that after 6 months of participation in school-based feeding programs, learners' weight-for-age and height-for-age indices significantly improved, along with enhanced class attendance, concentration levels, and academic performance. These results make a crucial contribution to not only combating childhood malnutrition but also enhancing educational outcomes. Further research on a school-based feeding program is needed to improve children's health and education further.
