《English Translation》黄刚: Xiao Hua, is your school's cafeteria self-managed or outsourced? I saw in the news that when it's self-managed, the principal has to take charge personally. It's really tough.
陈花: Ours is still outsourced. I saw the news too—it said the principal has to buy ingredients and select chefs, which is really tiring. But if it’s outsourced, food safety can be hard to guarantee.
黄刚: Exactly. Many places now require schools to run their own cafeterias to ensure food safety, but a lot of schools don’t have the capacity. So in the end, they secretly hire companies, making it look self-run on the surface but outsourced in reality.
陈花: That’s not good—neither side is properly managed. Do you think there's a middle ground? Like the school supervises and a professional company handles operations? Would that be better?
黄刚: Some places are doing that. They call it 'dual management'. But the main issue is still unclear responsibility—everyone keeps passing the buck, which leads to corruption.
陈花: Looks like the cafeteria problem isn’t just about choosing self-run or outsourced. The key is improving systems and strengthening supervision. That’s how we truly protect the students.
