It is that time of the year where the Department is inviting schools and districts that implement the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) as per the minimum guidelines established by the Department of Basic Education and all the Provinces to enter the competition/community members to nominate the best schools in their respective areas.

Since 2010, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) through National School Nutrition Programme Best Schools Awards (NSNP) has been recognizing excellence, innovation and the dedication of districts and schools in the successful implementation of the programme.
