France has opened up €1 university meals to every student.
The subsidised three course meals, previously limited to low-income or financially vulnerable students, are now available regardless of income after a student union survey found almost half of French students had skipped meals for financial reasons. The policy cuts the standard €3.30 meal price by more than two-thirds.
