School Meals and Educational Outcomes in Rural Ethiopia
研究埃塞俄比亚农村学校供餐项目对教育成果的影响，发现现场供餐搭配带回家的口粮有助于提高学生的专注力、读写和算术能力，且供餐时间也很关键。
We investigate the relationship between providing school meals programmes and educational outcomes in Ethiopia. Using data from school catchment areas across rural Ethiopia, the paper examines the role played by programme modalities and their implementation. The results indicate that supplementing on-site school meals with take-home rations can be beneficial for concentration, reading, writing and arithmetic skills. The timing of the distribution of school meals is also found to play an important role.
