CHAPTER I
Introduction
are
two
types
of
school
canteen
management
in
the
Philippine public elementary the first is the cooperative type and the
second is the school manage type. For some school, they prefer the
cooperative type of school canteen management but for others, they prefer
the school manage type. Currently, the first type is the cooperative
management that is implemented in most schools because it is more service
oriented, student-focused and teacher-based management which would allow the
school to be more decisive to resource generation and public service
implementation (Sandoval, 2013: 22)
A few years back, all public elementary school in the Philippines
were ordered to put up a canteen through a Department of Education
Memorandum. There were guidelines to be followed according to the
memorandum such as, the school canteen shall help eliminate malnutrition
among pupils. It shall serves as a venue for the development of desirable
eating habit of
transparency

provide
quality services which is the reason why costumers keep on patronizing its
products and services. The students who are the vital component of the
school development program suffer. The canteen, in its mission to nourish
the childrens mind and provide quality services failed to accomplish its
target goal which is evident in the complaints raised and presented to the
board. The dilemma continuous to exist and remains unsolved. The quality
and quantity of food served is also affected. This result in getting more
complaints from the canteens clientele.
As a nurse by profession and as a school nurse, one of my
important goal and
welfare of our pupils while inside the school premises. Nutritious foods play
a major role on childs growth and development as according to the study of
Cruz (2013). In order to function properly, the brain needs a constant
supply
of
healthy
fats,
proteins,
carbohydrates,
water, vitamins
and
minerals. The amino acids found in high-protein foods are responsible for
the firing of brain chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Vitamins
and minerals convert amino acids to neurotransmitter, while sugars found
in fruits and vegetable power the brain. When a child is deficient in any
one of that food sources, he might seem confused, irritable, distracted or
apathetic. Unfortunately, excessive intake of foods high in fats, calories
and sugar might lead to acquire a lifestyle diseases such as Type 2
Diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hepatic steatosis according to the
recent studies it can all began at a very young age. ron-deficiency
anemia can be a problem for some children. Iron is an oxygen-carrying
component of blood. Children need iron for expanding blood volume which
is accompanied during periods of rapid growth. For girls, the beginning of
menstruation in late childhood adds an extra demand for iron due to the
regular loss of iron in menstrual blood. Meats, fish, poultry, and enriched
10
breads and cereals are the best sources of dietary iron. Most children eat
diets that are adequate in Vitamins A and C. When children do not eat
enough fruits and vegetables they run the risk of having low intakes of
vitamins A and C. B Complex vitamins (thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and other
B vitamins) come from a variety of foods, including grain products, meat
and meat substitutes and dairy products (The Health Magazine, 2013). Food
served at the canteen are always the same everyday nothing change.
Foods in the tray such as Fudgee bar, chocolitos were containing too
much sugar which is excessive to the recommended daily allowance
needed for children. I wonder, why I had an average of 5 pupils a day
complaints of toothache and abdominal pain because hot food should be
served hot but it was served cold especially in afternoon session. One of
the precipitating factors to aggravate toothache is the intake of too sweet
foods. This was the reason why the researcher wants to conduct this
study because of willingness to help improve the present school canteen
practices.
Statement of the Problem
This study aimed to assess the canteen management practices as
basis for an enhanced handbook in selected public elementary schools in
Marikina City District II during school year 2016 2017.
Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions:
1. What is the status of the school canteen practices as perceived by
the teachers and canteen personnel in terms of:
11
and
cooperative,
thereby
so
that
enhance
they
professionalism among
improve
efficiency
and
members of
offer
delicious
the
yet
affordable food. The results of this study could provide the management of
12
the cooperative with the information about the present status of the school
canteen and to let them know that the existing situation really affects the
totality of the service that they are rendering. The results of the study will
also
make a
need
to
13
in mind their social responsibility and not to focus on profitability alone. The study
could also be of help for the canteen managers planning, preparation, and
implementation of their new programs.
To the canteen staff. This study could provide opportunities for reflective
thought and thereby enhance professionalism among members of the canteen
personnel, so that they may improve efficiency at work and offer delicious yet
affordable food
To the teachers and personnel. The study may serve as information for
them to help the canteen manager in the operation of the canteen. This may also
serve as an eye-opener for them to actively take part in maintaining the good
service of the canteen and be able to recognize its value to the school. They may
also be aware of their part as cooperative members and so they must imbibe the
concept of shared capital and resources with the sense of ownership and for
them to also serve as tool in improving the canteen services and patronizing its
products and services.
Specifically, this study will benefit the different stakeholders as it may be
an input which can be of advantage to the following:
To other education administrators. The result of the study may be of
great help in improving the effectiveness in their respective area of canteen
operations.
To the students. The study may give result in understanding regarding
helping out in patronizing the canteen services and appreciating its effort in
providing nutritious foods and better services for the benefit of the students.
14
from selected top most populated schools in District II of Marikina City namely
SSS Elementary School, H. Bautista Elementary School and Concepcion
Elementary School. This study will be limited to the assessment of school
canteen management practices in terms of quality and quantity of food served,
kinds of service rendered to the customers, prices of the commodities, utilization
of canteen facilities, transparency of profit, and efficiency of coop staff. This
study will be conducted during the School Year 2016-2017. Finally, an
enhanced handbook on canteen operation standard shall be the output of the
study.
