Cours de cuisine obligatoires dans les collèges anglais 22 01 08 - Selon une enquête commanditée par le gouvernement et rendue publique en octobre dernier, la moitié des Britanniques seront obèses d'ici 25 ans, si la tendance actuelle se confirme. Quant au surpoids, il touchera 86% des hommes dans les 15 prochaines années et 70% des femmes dans les 20 ans, précise l'étude. L'obligation des cours de cuisine fait partie de la campagne de lutte contre l'obésité qui doit être lancée mercredi par M. Balls et son homologue à la Santé, Alan Johnson. Les cours de cuisine ne sont actuellement obligatoires que dans les écoles primaires anglaises. Ils seront rendus obligatoires dans les collèges anglais à partir de la rentrée prochaine dans le cadre des efforts visant à combattre la dangereuse croissance de l'obésité parmi la population, a annoncé mardi le ministère britannique de l'Education. Dès septembre prochain, tous les adolescents et adolescentes âgés entre 11 et 14 ans suivront des cours de cuisine s'ils se trouvent dans des écoles offrant déjà ce genre de cursus, soit environ 85% des collèges anglais. Les autres établissements secondaires disposeront d'un sursis jusqu'en 2011. «Apprendre aux enfants à cuisiner des plats sains est un important moyen pour les écoles pour aider à faire des adultes en bonne santé... Ma maman avait une passion pour tout cela et c'est elle qui m'a acheté mon premier livre de cuisine», a déclaré le ministre de l'Education, Ed Balls, au quotidien The Daily Mirror. Le ministre a lancé un appel au public afin qu'il propose des idées de plats classiques anglais ou internationaux que les enfants devraient apprendre. Mais l'objectif principal est de faire en sorte que les élèves puissent maîtriser la préparation de plats simples et sains réalisés avec des ingrédients frais, a expliqué le ministère de l'Education, de l'Enfance et de la Famille. Cette mesure ne concerne que les écoles d'Angleterre, l'éducation
étant gérée de manière autonome par les autres
régions du Royaume-Uni, comme le Pays de Galles et l'Ecosse.
Cookery classes to be made compulsory LONDON (Reuters) - Cookery classes will be made compulsory in secondary schools for the first time, the government announced on Tuesday, as the fight against childhood obesity intensifies. Schools Secretary Ed Balls said 800 cookery teachers will be trained over the next three years, and agreed with health campaigners who say the new policy should have been introduced years ago. Students aged 11 to 14 will learn to cook for an hour a week for one term. Currently around 85 percent of secondary schools have cookery lessons but the new policy, part of a government obesity strategy, requires all schools to be teaching the subject by 2011. A recent government study predicted that half the population could be obese within 25 years while experts believe one million children will be overweight in a decade. Balls said he wanted children to be able to cook simple and healthy recipes. "I think it is right to act now and maybe we should have acted earlier but we are acting now," he told BBC television. "We are preparing people for the future so we can teach our younger people to be healthier adults in the future." Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has been involved in a high-profile campaign to improve the quality of school dinners, told the Daily Mirror: "It's of the utmost importance that all kids learn to cook good food from scratch and shop well." Prue Leith, the new head of the government's programme to improve school meals, also welcomed the news. "If we had done this 30 years ago we might not have the (obesity) crisis we have now," the cook, restaurateur and food writer told Radio 4's Today programme. But Clarissa Williams, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Head Teachers, said that training had been neglected for so long it would be difficult to implement now. "Cookers, microwaves, all of the utensils -- all of that costs a lot of money," she told the Today programme. (Editing by Stephen Addison)
Kids to learn 8 healthy meals for life
Cookery will be made compulsory for a term so they can practise producing classics like spaghetti bolognese, shepherd's pie and a roast dinner when they are 13 or 14 - before starting GCSEs. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who's campaigned to improve school dinners, said: "It's one of the things I was asking for three years ago and I've been trying to get the government to act on it ever since. It's of the utmost importance that all kids learn to cook good food from scratch and shop well. I will be fully supportive." Mr Balls, 40, who is married to housing minister Yvette Cooper, revealed
he does all the cooking at home and said he likes to cook spicy Mexican
dishes for his wife and their three children.
He said "Teaching kids to cook healthy meals is an important way schools can help produce healthy adults. My mum was passionate about all this and bought me my first Delia Smith book." The lessons are part of an action plan announced tomorrow to help tackle the problem of Britain's bulging waistlines. And they want to hear from you if you've got an idea for suitable recipes.
