Why Bulla & Pink Milk Is No Longer In Jamaican Schools


Listen Later

Disclaimer: Since the release of this episode (originally aired in 2020 and last updated in 2021), bulla has now been reintroduced in Jamaican public schools as singular packets where most students receive it with water.


As anyone over the age of 30 who went to a primary school in Jamaica would tell you, the bulla and pink milk was an experience that made their childhood. However, the famous government-supplied meal for children from low-income schools has an almost 35-year history in Jamaican society and defines many Jamaicans' primary school experience.
