What Can Be Done To Improve Nutrition

Education Efforts In The Schools?



Effective nutrition education in elementary
and secondary schools can help people
learn to make wise food choices. It can also
complement and/or potentially reduce the
need for many federally related nutrition
activities.

The Department of Agriculture has been
the primary Federal agency involved with
nutrition education in the schools. GAO
found that:

   --Information on federally supported nu-
   trition education efforts has not been
   gathered, assessed, and shared with
   State and local education agencies.

   --Sufficient data was not available on
   the largest Federal nutrition education
   program's effects on its participants.

   --Coordination of nutrition education ef-
   forts directed at school children has
   been limited.

   --Not enough teachers were prepared
   for nutrition instruction.

 GAO identifies ways to deal with these
 problems and improve nutrition education
 efforts in schools.
