ABOUT THE SEMINAR
School Health Education aims to instill the understanding that
Education is a means of empowerment for individual, allowing the
individual to make educated health decisions. Today, School Health
Education is seen as a ‘comprehensive health curriculum.’
The National Curriculum Frameworks (2005) and (2000) and
National Policy on Education (1986) have categorically emphasized
that Health Education is to be given much priority for individual
healthy, happy, productive, peaceful and long life. World Health
Organization and Government of India have indicated the prominent
roles of Health Education in preventing unhealthy living by following
prophylaxis rather than curing diseases.
Many reasons, demands and critical situations (Midday Meal
Scheme, Sex Education, Early Parenthood etc.) are imposing to give
strong preference to Health Education. There is a hope of improving
further the specific areas of Health Education, particularly the research
activities and teaching and learning of Health Sciences in school.
