The Western Cape Department of Education will from Monday be giving learners breakfast as part of the provincial school feeding scheme.
This comes after a pilot was done in 2012; learners are already receiving lunch at school.
MEC of Education Donald Grant said providing breakfast as well will provide more nutrition.
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh Casey said currently over 430 learners are already receiving lunch meal each day at their schools and now this year the department has decided to add an additional breakfast.
Casey further said this will not only provide nutrition for learners but will also encourage learners to arrive early at school.
