“…Schools are, and should be, more than sites for lunchbox surveillance (Fossgard et al 2018) and the acquisition of educational qualifications. Schools need to be seen as places that prepare children and young people for life as social and cultural participants in society (Murray, 2017) and prepare them with the capabilities to live lives of their choosing.…”

“…The dining hall is seen as a space where eating takes place but not as a place where learning takes place. Social learning needs to be considered as having equal importance in fostering opportunities for a type of learning which prepares pupils for life after school (Murray, 2017), such as helping to 'fit' into community by creating cohesion. This social learning, and the social skills that accompany this learning, then enable children to go out into the world and participate in social situations.…”

Policy makers in the UK are trying to improve school meals, by focusing on eating well. This article explores the way policies are framed by academic performance and health as a reason for providing school lunches. Using Nussbaum's capability approach we argue that the purpose of schooling should be to provide young people with the ability to lead a life of choice. We argue that school meals are an important social good, which allow young people to develop critical skills around food which they can then use throughout their lives. We draw on evidence from two ethnographic research projects on food in schools, conducted in England. We question whether the collocation between healthy eating and learning should be the focus of school food reform and contemplate the role of society and government to provide children with healthy meals, irrespective of learning outcomes. School meals are more than good exam results.

“…Focus on narrow curricula may enable children to pass examinations that might pave their way to entering the workforce in the future. However, as I have argued previously, recruiting children younger than 8 years to a 'factory' model such as this may be counter-productive, since it may have adverse effects on wellbeing and health (Murray 2017). If we focus our attention too rigidly on what might serve children's futures, we are in danger of overlooking that which may best serve the child now.…”

“…Something that cannot be denied from these human rights is the child rights. The child rights actually also exist within the framework of human rights, but there are things that are more specifically emphasized because children are human beings who develop and grow as humans with various different characteristics based on age restrictions [2].…”
