Evaluation Of the Quality of Nutrition in Elementary Schools
Abstract
The study aimed to know and evaluate the level of quality of nutrition in primary grade schools. To achieve this, the study relied on a descriptive survey approach, where the researcher prepared a scale that was applied to a sample of primary grade schools. The number of schools to which it was applied reached (50) public and private schools. The study concluded that the level of availability of quality nutrition in primary grade schools was high, with an arithmetic average of (2.44 out of 3). It became clear from the results that the most prominent levels of nutritional quality assessment in primary grade schools were represented by the first dimension: the dining hall, with a high degree, with an arithmetic average of (2.78 out of 3), followed by the third dimension: cleanliness, with a high degree, with an arithmetic average of (2.48 out of 3), followed by the fourth dimension: food, with a moderate degree, with an arithmetic average of (2.30 out of 3). Finally, the second dimension: equipment and furniture came in at a moderate level, with an arithmetic mean of (2.23 out of 3)
