UAE schools have banned online food delivery to promote healthy eating and lifelong nutrition habits. Schools like Woodlem Education, GEMS Education, JSS Private School, and Diyafah International provide nutritious, high-quality meals on-site, adhering to Dubai Municipality and DHA standards. Policies ensure children who forget lunch are promptly provided with healthy alternatives, with parental involvement when necessary. Initiatives include allergen-conscious menus, cultural considerations, and cashless systems for seamless meal access. ADEK’s guidelines reinforce these practices, emphasizing food safety, student responsibility, and independence, while restricting sugary and junk items. The focus is on fostering wellness, inclusion, and healthy habits from a young age.
