[Reporter Lin Xiaoyun/Taipei Report] The National Primary and Secondary School "Eating Grouper in Classes" plan will be served in various counties and cities at the end of October, but there are still schools that have not eaten it. The outside world doubts that the supply of grouper is insufficient. Minister of Education Pan Wenzhong According to an interviewee today, perhaps because the demand for the whole school is quite large, the Council of Agriculture currently needs some more homework time to process grouper fillets, but it can guarantee that primary and secondary school students will eat grouper 4 times.

Legislator Huang Guoshu said that no school students in his constituency have eaten grouper. He is concerned about whether the Ministry of Education has a grasp of the situation in each county and city, and should know the supply situation of the Council of Agriculture.
