DEN Faces Prabowo, report on the arrival of MBG Recipient Student

The National Economic Council (DEN) delivered a number of reports to President Prabowo Subianto, one of which is about the study of the free Bergizi Eating Program (MBG). In the National Economic Social Survey (Susenas) DEN, the MBG recipients are less absent from school than the nonbG.

"What we also say to Mr. President is related to our study related to MBG.

Word has it that the susenas had DEN with the BPS and other agencies since September last year. One of the questions in Susenas is how to outcome the MBG program from school students to their student spirit.

"So in spite of all the flaws the MBG program has, we find the findings quite fascinating. So if we look at student attendance, that MBG recipient is rarely absent compared to that MBG non-recipient,

Word has it that the presence of an MBG recipient and a nonrecipient of MBG is a pretty big gap. According to him, the findings showed a positive part of the MBG execution.

"In fact, it's quite large, especially in the poorest of them all. So when he's a non-recipient of MBG, he'll be absent often, while if his MBG recipient is relatively absent from school," said the Word.

"And it's getting higher and less absent as it is with the intensity of an MBG acceptance at his school. So I guess that's one thing that's positive, right," the imitation.

In addition to presentation, word continues, the MBG also has correlation with the spirit of learning students. Word calls for good quality MBG influences with the student spirit.

"When the quality of the menu is very good, 95% of the students who receive MBG say they have higher learning spirit. But indeed when the quality of the menu is bad, that's a very low drop.

This findings became a recommendation to President Prabowo. DEN is pushing for an MBG increase in its application in the field.

"Which means that it is one of our recommendations to the President that we just said, it needs to be looked at by the quality of the MBG menu, right, because it correlates with hunger and the passion of children in school," told him.
