Andra Soni: MBG for children with disabilities requires special handling

Tangerang Selatan – Banten -Governor Andra Soni said that the free nutritious eating program (MBG) for children or students with disabilities needs special handling. He also invited the private sector and the community to be actively involved. Andra said that the Kosmenu for children with special needs (ABK) should not be indifferent. He said ABK is sensitive to certain types of food ingredients. “It is very difficult to relate to the fulfillment or provision of free nutritious foods for special children, not an easy matter. Children with disabilities who eat certain flour or compounds can make children emotionally and so on,” Andra said in a free nutritional hearing at the special school (SKH) of South Tangerang 1, Monday (4/28/2025).
