The new school year sees 13 primary and secondary schools in Singapore moving from traditional canteens to a central kitchen model. While catered meals may address difficulties in finding canteen stallholders, there have been teething problems. Parents reported technical glitches, such as payment failures, which left some students without meals. The change also removes something familiar — children learning to budget and save their pocket money. In the fifth and final part of the Back To School series, CNA speaks to Ms Debbie Yong, founder of Atypical Media, and Dr Lillian Koh, founder and chair of Fintech Academy.
