A fin de contribuir o prevenir este fenómeno social por medio de los percentiles establecidos por el Ministerio de Salud Pública, gerencialmente se propone un Plan Nutricional aplicable a estos niños. La metodología fue una investigación cualitativa y el método es un estudio de caso. Los resultados obtenidos: el 29.17% de estudiantes se encuentran desnutridos y el 15.36% poseen estado de riesgo nutricional, por una deficiente alimentación, los padres de familia desconocen la forma adecuada y nutritiva de alimentar a sus hijos; el 74.74% reside en la parte urbana marginal de la ciudad, teniendo poco acceso a información, agua potable, servicios básicos, lo que incide en la desnutrición. Se concluye que el estado nutricional de los escolares de la Escuela Fiscal Mixta “Martha Bucaram” están en estado de riesgo nutricional según los estándares establecidos en el Ministerio de Salud Pública. También que los escolares no ingieren alimentos de estación. Las madres de familia de la institución educativa no tienen muchos conocimientos específicos sobre nutrición, ni de como cocinar de manera más saludable y nutritiva para sus hijos.
