It has recently been announced from the FSA (Food Standards Agency) that the vast majority of UK students will be getting basic guidance and lessons directly from their University to cook food safely whilst living at halls of residence. Catering at University is very basic and is not safe what so ever so now each University are now implementing a small party to help and guide students whilst living on campus to cook properly and safely.
Why are the Government doing this? Firstly, it will be hopefully be teaching students the value of cooking food safely and properly and secondly it will save on damage costs on the University itself. At the moment there is literally too much damage being caused to University property and there has to be something done about it. Educating the students early on is the most effective way to learn about the value of good and safe cooking inside University property. Whilst I was studying at University keeping the kitchen in a good state was not on the top of my priorities and neither was it anyone elses. However, Universities from across the country are now investing a fair amount of time and effort into getting safety as their primary concern. So, how are they going to do this? Setting up helpful posters will be the first phase and then using monthly appraisals to monitor campus activity is something that will be introduced later on.
Not all students are redundant in the kitchen as some people would assume. Catering courses at University have shot up. More people from across the board are wanting to study catering. Wedding Catering and Private Catering is a massive industry and more students are willing to learn about the trade. The work itself is really rewarding and pays really well so it is obvious that people will be interested in applying themselves.
