Free school meals will be offered to all P5 pupils from the start of term in January.
They are joining all pupils from P1-4 in the scheme funded by the Scottish Government.
Schools will be providing details to families before the end of term.
Children and families convener Councillor Stewart Hunter added: “The expansion of free meals at first for all P4 pupils and then the P5 classes will ensure that even more primary children have the opportunity to get a healthy meal during the school day.
“The health and educational benefits of good nutrition are well known and I look forward to this scheme continuing in Dundee schools.”
Dundee schools return from the Christmas holiday on Thursday January 6, 2022.
Dundee City Council
Dundee draws skilled workers from a 60-minute catchment population of 640,000 and has a local population of over 140,000. The availability of a large pool of highly skilled labour is a key feature in the Dundee economy. Flexibility in the labour force is currently more prevalent in Dundee than in Scotland as a whole. All forms of labour market flexibility - part-time, temporary employment, self-employment and shift work - are widely operational within the city. Labour force stability in the city is excellent, enabling companies to plan with confidence. Labour turnover levels are less than 5% and absenteeism averages 2%.
