ABSTRACT
This study was carried out on comparative analysis of nutritional policy and implementation in basic 7-9 in public and private schools. The nutritional status of school aged children impacts their health, cognition and subsequently their educational achievement. The present study was conducted to determine the nutritional status and dietary habits of school aged children (6-12 years) attending public and private primary schools in Lagos state, Nigeria. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) standard mean of Body Mass Index (BMI), obesity and overweight constituted higher percentage among students in the private school than in the public school, while underweight was high among students in the public school (18.7%) compared to students in private school (7.5%). More than half of the public school students (52.7%) complaining of short stature compared to 27.4% of the private school students. A statistically significant difference between the two studied groups regarding taking lunch meal (P-value = 0.03) and the students' preference of eating fried food (P-value = 0.00) were detected. In conclusion, there were statistically significant differences between the two studied groups regarding their Body Mass Index and daily food consumption.
