서울시 내 학교급식을 실시하는 1,300여 학교는 입찰, 수의계약 등을 통하여 독립적으로 학교급식 식재료를 구입하는 경우 필수적으로 필요한 품목의 기초단가 산정을 실시하여야 하며, 이때 학교에서 가장 주요한 기준이 되는 것이 서울시학교보건진흥원에서 제공하는 ‘학교급식 식재료 시장조사 가격’이다.
그러나 지금까지 학교급식 식재료 가격결정에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 ‘학교급식 식재료 시장조사 가격’에 대한 객관적인 적정성 분석 등 합리적 실행 여부에 대한 검토가 실시되지 못하였다.
이에 본 연구에서는 부적절한 학교급식 식재료가격 결정을 개선함으로써 보다 양질의 학교급식이 제공될 수 있는 기회를 확대하기 위하여 학교급식의 현황 및 시장조사 가격의 적정성분석과 서울시 내 모든 학교를 대상으로 한 설문조사분석을 통하여 학교급식에 이용되는 식재료 가격이 보다 객관적이고 합리적으로 결정될 수 있는 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다.
연구결과 현재 학교보건진흥원에서 제공하고 있는 식재료 시장조사가격은 일선 학교의 영양(교)사에게 가장 중요한 참고자료를 제공하는 것으로 조사되었으나 자료의 적정성에 대해서는 부정적인 의견이 많은 것으로 조사되었다.
세부적으로는 조사대상에 있어 소매단계 가격만을 대상으로 함으로써 공급업체의 유형에 따라 지나친 초과이윤이 발생할 수 있는 가능성이 있음으로 도매단계 가격을 제공할 수 있는 조사대상을 포함시키는 개선안을 제시하였으며, 공급업체 가격정보 제공시에도 표본이 되는 공급업체의 대상과 표본 수를 확대함으로써 보다 객관적인 정보를 제공하는 방안을 제시하였다.
조사품목 수에 있어서도 현실적으로 효율적인 조사가 될 수 있도록 현장조사 품목은 축소하되 온라인 정보수집을 통한 조사품목을 병행하여 현행 품목수준을 유지하는 방안을 제시하였으며, 조사주기는 현행처럼 월 1회를 유지하되 가격변동이 심한 농수산물에 대해서는 월 2회로 개선하고 두 번째 가격정보 제공은 현장 방문조사가 아닌 온라인 정보수집 조사를 통하여 제공하는 방안을 제시하였다.
조사방법은 현재의 방문조사 위주에서 온라인상 가격정보 수집을 병행하는 방안을 제시하였으며, 이때 소매가격은 방문조사, 도매가격은 방문조사와 온라인상 가격정보수집을 병행하고 학교급식 공급업체 가격정보는 NEIS를 통하여 조사하는 방법을 제시하였다.
본 연구의 의미와 목적이 매우 중요함에도 불구하고 본 연구결과는 연구범위, 분석자료 등의 측면에서 다음과 같은 몇 가지 한계점을 가지고 있으며, 향후 이러한 한계점을 보완하기 위한 추가연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
첫째, 분석 자료의 문제로서 본 연구의 기초자료로 사용된 NEIS 자료의 학교별 양식차이, 입력오류 등 일부 부정확성을 나타내고 있는 자료로 인하여 이를 분석에서 제외함으로써 보다 신뢰성 높은 분석이 이루어지지 못한 측면이 있다.
둘째, 학교급식 식재료로 사용되는 농축산물의 경우 단순가공 비중이 일정부분을 차지하고 있어 시장조사가격 이외에 품목별, 가공유형별 유통비 정보를 제공하여야 일선 학교의 영양(교)사들의 기초금액 산정에 필요한 정확한 정보를 줄 수 있으나 본 연구에서는 시장조사 품목의 가공유형별 유통비용은 분석되지 못한 한계를 나타내고 있다.
1,300 schools in Seoul should take a calculation of basic unit price for ingredients when they purchase the ingredients independently by using a bid or a private contract, referring to “The Market Research Price of Ingredients of School Food Service” prepared by Seoul School Health Promotion Center. However, “The Market Research Price of Ingredients of School Food Service”, playing a critical role in setting the price of ingredients of school food service, had not been properly analyzed in terms of its objective appropriateness and the feasibility of its price. Therefore, this study aimed at suggesting the better ways of how to set the price of ingredients more reasonable and objective by taking an investigation of the state of lunch meals, an analysis on the appropriateness of market price of ingredients, and a survey targeting all schools in Seoul. We hope that the result of our study would help increasing the chance of providing the quality of school food service by improving the price-setting procedures of ingredients of school food service. As the result, now, market research prices of food ingredients invest that are to be providing from Seoul School Health Promotion Center is investigated to providing the most important references to nutrition teachers of the schools. However, for the appropriateness of the information, that is investigated they have a lot of negative opinions Detailed surveyed suppliers, depending on the type of target retail Prices only step by wholesale price step improvements that can cause excessive exceed profits proposed, the vendor pricing information provided even when the sample by expanding the number of samples that target suppliers and suggested improvements to provide more objective information. This study provide to field research items reduce for realistically efficient research, and, research items to collected online information keep current level items. It suggested that the research period will maintain by once a month like the current. However, The agricultural products and fishery products of large prices fluctuating have to investigate twice a month, and second research have to be online research instead of field research. In how to survey, by running parallel with visit survey and the online of price information collected, the retail price is visit survey, wholesale prices run parallel with visit survey and the online Prices information collected. And supplier pricing information was presented how to investigate through the NEIS. The meaning and purpose of the present study is very important although the results of this study has several limitations as follows in terms of the scope of research, analysis, etc., are considered necessary complement to these limitations in the future for further research. First, we have the aspects that have not been done by excluding them from the analysis more reliable analysis because of inaccuracies of the difference between school-specific form of the NEIS data used as the basis of this study, typing errors, etc. Second, the case of agricultural and livestock foods used as school food service ingredients, is taking proportion of simple processing up. And except market research price, we can give necessary accurate information to calculate the basis amount of nutritionists that if you need. But distribution costs for processing of market research items by type have not been analyzed in this study. And shows the limitations.
