Abstract
Analysis of the Quality of Diet and Academic Performance in Rural Primary School Students
Highlights
From the current Organic Law for the Improvement of Educational Quality (LOMCE) it is extracted that one of the main objectives of the educational system in Spain is the improvement of educational quality in order to increase employability, improve results in international evaluations, unify results between communities, promote multilingualism, enhance orientation, and reduce school failure
It should be noted that in another investigation only an association was found between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the grades obtained in Art Education, Mathematics, and Social Sciences in schoolchildren in Spain (Alfonso Rosa et al, 2018); while in Australian schoolchildren, a better quality diet was only associated with significantly higher scores in math, reading, writing, and spelling (Nyaradi et al, 2016)
The results indicated that adherence to dietary recommendations was beneficial for girls’ academic performance (AP), no results were statistically significant
Summary
From the current Organic Law for the Improvement of Educational Quality (LOMCE) it is extracted that one of the main objectives of the educational system in Spain is the improvement of educational quality in order to increase employability, improve results in international evaluations, unify results between communities, promote multilingualism, enhance orientation, and reduce school failure. There are important individual and social consequences from compromising a generation of human capital and significantly reducing the opportunities of young people in relation to their future in the workplace (Yserte, Gallo-Rivera, & Martínez-Gautier, 2020). In this scenario, it is especially important to focus on the processes of accumulation of knowledge and skills that occur in the successive educational stages. Is important to analyze what factors can explain situations of school dropout or low academic performance (AP)
