People once s cooking as a necessary part of education in England. But in recent years, it has become l important in schools. As a result, basic（基础的） cooking and food preparation skills are being lost. It is also making more children overweight, as parents use too fast food that is harmful to their health.
The government(政府) is worried and is looking for ways to solve the problem. A new law has been passed. All secondary schools should offer (提供) cooking l to students aged from 11 to 14 years . They hope that this will encourage(鼓励) people to cook instead of eating prepared meals，fast food and snacks.
Students will learn to cook for one hour a week for one term. They will learn to use simple and fresh ingredients(原料) to p healthy, tasty food, following instructions（指示，说明）. These cooking skills will be helpful in their future life. Schools are also setting up cooking clubs over the country. The clubs will give more children the chance to learn to cook.
There still difficulties. Head teachers are worried about the things they will need for the cooking. And about 15% of schools do not have kitchens and there are not e teachers.
The speaker from the government promises to train 800 teachers and to give schools 2. 5 million pounds a year to help children from poorer families to pay ingredients.
