Currently, one in four students eats lunch alone, and of the 40 schools, only one has a cafeteria and seven offer a set lunch menu, according to the report. <em>Secondary school cafeterias as lunchtime spaces - Recommendations for transformation into healthy, sustainable and educational spaces</em>The authors of the study—the Federation of Parents' Associations (FAPA) of Mallorca, the Balearic Islands College of Dietitians-Nutritionists, and the Global Health research group at the University of the Balearic Islands—are calling for the implementation of school cafeterias in secondary schools where the need is identified. According to the study, 92% of students eat at home; one in four eats alone, and 30% of those who eat alone consume pre-cooked meals or sandwiches. Only one secondary school in Mallorca has a school cafeteria, and the six Integrated Primary and Secondary Education Centers (CEIPIESO) and three Secondary Education Institutes (IES) are authorized to allow students to eat at the cafeteria of the school to which they are affiliated. In addition, there are 68 secondary schools with cafeteria service, but only 40% cover lunchtime and most close at 2 pm.</p>]]></description>
