A personal view

Abstract

‘Nutrition in education’ rather than ‘Nutrition education’: is there a difference? Last September a small meeting was organised by UNESCO to discuss the topic of Nutrition in educational policy and planning, and it became clear from the outset that what participants were concerned about was not so much ‘What are children taught about nutrition?’ but ‘How do ideas about nutrition enter into the planning of education services?’ Although the discussions and papers related mostly to the Third World, some of the conclusions would apply elsewhere as well.
