School meal reform likely to be delayed until 2027

Proposed changes to school catering rules, originally set to take effect this September, could be postponed until September 2027, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said after Friday’s meeting on the reform. The decree would update 30-year-old rules governing school menus. Babiš said no final decision has been made and further negotiations are planned with all parties concerned.
