The dining project that the Ancín School has risen, wobbling

  • In the past it is a small town and two fundamental factors for the resurrection of the center have been: Implement model D and ensure the dining room service. The dining room is managed by the AMPA and three women work in it, offering a local, ecological and quality food, turning the dining room into a “pedagogical project”. But the project has no place in the competition of the Government of Navarra for the award of the service.

The Lokiz public school has grown from 14 pupils to almost 50 in three years, thanks to the involvement of parents and educators who have managed to ensure that their families do not send them to the larger cities. Besides offering the possibility to study in Basque in model D, the center now offers a dining room. At first, the Department of Education of Navarra decided to outsource a catering company, but at the school it was found that it was not viable, because there are few meals for a company of this kind. And they created the dining room project, assuming the management of the association of parents.

Today, with a local, ecological and sustainable product, it feeds 34 students and has created jobs for three women, “in a rural area at risk of depopulation”.

A project that has proven great achievements in three years

The problem is that in the application for tendering of the catering service of the Government of Navarra they cannot demonstrate the technical, economic or type of legal entity necessary to be awarded. “But in these three years it has been shown that, together with lower economic costs, our country offers more than a healthy product quality. Our dining room service, in addition to meeting the requirements of quality and sustainability required by the tender, reverses the expenditure directly to local producers, organic products, rural working women and educational quality.”

For all these reasons, the parents of Ancín ask that the project be maintained, as they see that the conditions required by the government “do not allow bidding small companies with economic activities in the region and do not allow the possibility of a project that has been built during these years in the dining room of the Colegio de Lokiz de Ancín”.
