 https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Society/Indonesia-takes-school-lunch-cues-from-Japan-China-and-India Japan's school lunch system began in 1889 to improve students' nutrition and combat poverty. Generally, lunches are planned by a school nutritionist and cooked onsite in a kitchen by paid staff. During lunchtime, students learn etiquette, serving and cleaning skills, healthy food choices and lifelong eating habits. Designated student servers wear cloth gowns and chef hats. According to a survey by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 99% of primary schools provided school lunches last year. Students pay an average of 4,688 yen ($29) per month. Some local governments fully subsidize the fees.
