Universities Nationwide Implement Catering Guides for Students
It has recently been annouced from the FSA that students in the UK will be given lessons on cooking food safely whilst living on campus. Students cooking good and healthy food safely is not what people hear from the likes of University halls but that is now going to change. Small groups of people will be held responsible for looking after students whilst they are cooking on campus.
Why are the Government doing this? Firstly, it will be hopefully be teaching students the value of cooking food safely and properly and secondly it will save on damage costs on the University itself. At the moment there is literally too much damage being caused to University property and there has to be something done about it. I think educating the students from the get-go is the best way about it and if they learn the value of cooking safe and respecting University property. Whilst I was studying at University keeping the kitchen in a good state was not on the top of my priorities and neither was it anyone else’s. Many Universities from across the board will now be investing a good amount of money into the system to make sure students will be cooking food safely whilst living on halls. So, how are they going to do this? Initially, the Universities will be putting up helpful posters and banners to help studetns on campus and after that monthly appraisals will be introduced to monitor activity on halls.
Of course not all students are in-capable in the kitchen as some would think. Corporate Catering courses at many Universities have gone through the roof and more and more students are signing up than ever before. Wedding Caterers and Private Catering is a massive industry and more students are willing to learn about the trade. The work is rewarding and pays well so it is natural that people are interested.
