1. According to the Conditional Grant Framework (CGF), the National School Nutrition Programme Provides nutritious meals to all learners in quintile 1 to 3 Primary and Secondary Schools as well as identified special schools on all school days. Furthermore, the CGF provides for deviation from the provisions for implementation subject to compliance to minimum feeding requirements and availability of resources. One of the deviations that may be approved by the national transferring officer (Director-General) based on achievements and/or critical challenges in each province is the number of learners that exceed the gazetted quintiles, that is feeding of learners in quintile 4 and 5 schools.
