School education in the midst of the economic crisis in Sri Lanka

epa10187448 Sri Lankan students have their breakfast in their classroom at a school in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 16 September 2022. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) had agreed to provide 27 million US dollar to improve the nutritional status of Sri Lankan primary school students and prevent missed school days due to the economic crisis. The Indian Ocean island nation currently ranks fifth in a list of 10 countries with the highest food price inflation in the world, according to the World Bank. Sri Lanka is in the grip of its worst economic crisis due to a lack of foreign reserves, resulting in severe shortages in food, fuel, medicine, and imported goods. EPA/CHAMILA KARUNARATHNE
