For instance, meals can be pre-ordered and prepared at a central kitchen before they are delivered to schools.
There are 65 advertisements from primary and secondary schools listed on the MOE website for stallholders as at Nov 12.
Mr Chan was responding to questions from several MPs – Mr Louis Chua , Ms He Ting Ru and Mr Yip Hon Weng – on school canteen stalls. Yusof Ishak Secondary School and Blangah Rise Primary School did away with manned stalls and turned to catered food from airline catering and logistics company Sats, while Spectra Secondary School caters from Select Group.
The ministry will continue to explore options, said Mr Chan, which include the central kitchen delivery model and vending machines, as well as the conventional option of having stall operators.Responding to Ms He, who asked if vending machines can provide nutritious meals for students including those from lower-income backgrounds, Mr Chan said they would be used mainly for snacks and drinks, and are just one option for schools.
