The Carnegie School of Home Economics (CSHE) on Tuesday launched its Nutrition for Dietary Assistant Programme, a diploma course that will explore subjects such as sanitary standards in food handling, and the enforcement of dietary food regulations.

The programme’s launch is as a result of the school’s aim to provide “better nutrition education”, a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) stated, noting that CSHE is seeking to place more emphasis on improving the quality of life of the citizenry.

Described as being a “comprehensive dietary nutrition course”, the two-year programme will see its next batch of students beginning their training in September 2019, according to the statement.
