This study was conducted to analyze in depth the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program in schools in Surabaya City, which includes the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages, involving various stakeholders such as the government, schools, and service providers. The method used in this study is a qualitative method through a descriptive approach. The results of this Free Nutritious Meal Program study have shown that this program improves student learning concentration.

Therefore, it still requires improvements from the government to address these problems.Keywords: Concentration, Free Nutritious Meal Program, , Surabaya City
