Health Promotion in Schools

Health promotion in schools involves creating an environment that supports students’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It includes education about healthy lifestyles, proper nutrition, exercise, and hygiene, as well as fostering positive relationships and mental health. The goal is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices, prevent illness, and develop lifelong habits. Schools may also implement policies and programs that promote safety, reduce risky behaviors, and encourage a supportive community, ultimately helping students thrive academically and personally.
