Complementary Services

Lunch Service

By providing school lunches, schools fulfil their socio-educational role and also allow students to extend their time at school.
School lunches are provided for students in infant, primary and first level of state secondary school.
Lunch is prepared either in the school canteens or in local state-run kitchens. Some of these kitchens are staffed directly by state employees and others are run by external catering companies.
All meals are prepared on the same day that they are served and transported in specially made containers to guarantee they stay hot. The meals are served in the school canteen area within the school complex. Each student receives his/her lunch on a porcelain plate and with appropriate cutlery, all of which is then washed in the school kitchen.

The service is only provided to schools with afternoon hours and it must be requested every year along with the school inscription request. The cost of the service is determined by the economic situation of each household; to benefit from reduced tariffs, the tariff reduction request must be submitted by September 30th every year.
