Health Education
It is not possible to achieve objective of school
health without providing students with proper health
education. This health education motivates and
assists the students to maintain and improve their
health and well-being. It promotes healthy habits
like personal hygiene and discourages the unhealthy
and high risk behaviors like substance abuse in
teenage. It is compulsory to have some guideline for
health education in the form of Health Curriculum
from kindergarten to 12th grade. This component
describes the need of health curriculum to be a part
of school curriculum. TMSHS has developed the
Primary School Health Education Curriculum and
Teacher’s Guide Books. This Health Curriculum has
been pilot tested initially in two schools.
This curriculum will be implemented through school
teachers to build their capacity for effective
implementation, TMSHS organize Teacher’s Training to
develop teachers’ capacity to teach Health
curriculum.
Health education does not only mean classroom
education, it is beyond this like need base health
education for example in summer season there is need
of teaching students sunstroke precautionary
measures and diarrhea and dehydration preventions,
organization of study walks and small projects.
Other aspect health education is different trainings
like first aid training and basic life support and
teachers’ trainings etc. TMSHS had trained over 100
students and teachers in first aid and 10 teachers
in Basic Life Support Training.
