Having a kitchen in a school provides numerous benefits. It allows students to learn practical skills such as cooking, nutrition, and food safety. A school kitchen also supports healthy eating by providing fresh, nutritious meals, promoting better focus and overall well-being. Additionally, it can foster teamwork and creativity as students work together to prepare meals, encouraging collaboration and hands-on learning.
