More than 90% of the 55 lighthouse schools displayed updated nutrition information materials, distributed by the project, in various areas in the school.
The three Sentinel schools received intensive supervision and monitoring, and provision of technical and operational assistance to maximize their potential in conducting nutrition education activities.
Conduct of various nutrition education activities became more consistent in sentinel schools upon provision of regular technical assistance, nutrition reference materials, and designation of Nutri‐Ed Coordinator

Nutrition Education for parents & community
Nutrition Learning Resource Center (LRC)
Sentinel schools each put up a Nutrition LRC, a library of nutrition and health‐related informational materials open to students, teachers, and the general community, according to their resources.
It was observed that the Schools Division Office was instrumental in generating material/ financial support from stakeholders & government agencies.
Issues & Concerns
Availability of sufficient human resources to coordinate, prepare for and implement nutrition education activities affected successful program implementation in 30.91% of the 55 lighthouse schools. Nutrition education coordinators are also the SBFP coordinatorsTasks Average time spent (in min)Feeding activities 224Teaching load 248Total 472 (7 hours, 52 minutes)
Plus 2 or more side duties)
Issues & Concerns
18.18% of 55 lighthouse schools expressed that insufficient access to updated and credible nutrition information/ reference materials is a concern
60.00% of the lighthouse schools experienced low turnout among parents (due to their own commitment at work) hindering successful implementation of nutrition education activities
Nutrition education coordinators and implementers also need capacity building to develop nutrition knowledge and relevant skills
Conclusions
Nutrition education can be integrated in existing school activities to enhance opportunities for nutrition learning
A mandate on nutrition education, including formal integration in the curriculum, can help ensure sustainability and allocation of resources
School gardens are useful learning venues of nutrition education for children and parents
Institutionalization of providing nutrition information materials and trainings to program implementers are necessary investments

Issues & Concerns
Delay in release of SBFP funds also leads to delay in program implementation
Need for allocation of designated feeding facility per school remains
Need for appropriate & calibrated anthropometric tools in schools, and need for capacity building of teacher/coordinator
Good engagement with the community & strong leadership of school heads are necessary to encourage more parent volunteers in the feeding program
Conclusions Strong level of support from school heads and
school division offices (SDOs) has allowed efficient implementation and has produced better practices in schools.
Good community or barangay relations have increased school capacity and mechanisms to gather further support and parent participation.
Continued technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation have significantly improved SBFP implementation. It is a key driver of sustainability of the program.
Conclusions
Availability of calibrated anthropometric tools in schools has enhanced system compliance.
Appropriate training to respective personnel involved in the implementation and aligned capacity building have enhanced the integration of the three components.

Conclusions
The SBFP implemented through the integrated model (GarNESup) resulted to significant increase in mean weight and height among schoolchildren.
Further improvement in mean weight and height was observed during the additional 80 days feeding period.
The implementation of different nutrition modalities have mended the disconnect of the SBFP and GPP resulting to improved implementation of the SBSP with improved nutritional status of children as visible outcome.
Implications
The SBFP s effective increasing weight and height after 120 feeding days.
Effective measures to sustain the improved nutritional status during school days should be installed during vacation breaks at the community setting.
Gardens should be extended at the community level.
