Jakarta – The free nutritious meal (MFM) program continues even during school holidays. NasDem Chief of Staff at Commission IX DPR RI, Irma Suryani, many children want to go to school during the holidays. “I’m sure it will be rare for children who want to go to school to take only one portion of food, especially if their home is far,” Irma told reporters on Monday (22/12/2025). Irma has no problem with the MBG program continuing to run during school holidays. According to him, if BGN is capable, then just go ahead.

BGN is known to have prepared a number of alternatives for students to distribute MBG during the holidays. Head of BGN, Dadan Hindayana, said the MBG program for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and children under five will run as it should. “For pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and toddlers as usual. For school children, each SPPG must take an inventory of how many and how often children are willing to go to school,” Dadan said when asked for confirmation, Sunday (21/12/2025). Dadan said that at the beginning of the school holidays, students will get ready-to-eat menus such as eggs, fruit, milk, shredded meat or beef jerky. This menu runs for a maximum of 4 days. “For the rest of the day, if students are willing to come to school, they will be distributed to school, if not, we have to start taking up delivery mechanisms at homes or pick them up at SPPG,” he said. “We are currently designing a delivery system after 4 holidays,” he added.
