Question 1
Health Education should be considered a relevant subject and included in the
school curriculum
Health education is essential for the children's growth. Some education boards think that
health education is not a necessary and not really significant in the lives of today's
students. Health courses are always equated to the primary core courses, such as
mathematics and home languages. Some people think that core classes are much more
important to the person's education, which is why health education may be dropped first
from schools if there is poor support from teachers. Health courses give learners
important lessons about life that they are not exposed to in any of the different courses.
Youth behaviors and experiences set the stage for adult health.1-3 In particular, health
behaviors and experiences related to early sexual initiation, violence, and substance use
are consistently linked to poor grades and test scores and lower educational
attainment.47 In turn, providing health education as early as possible can help youth to
develop positive well-being, academic success, and healthy outcomes into adulthood.
Health education tends to be more effective when it is taught by qualified teachers,
connects students to health services, engages parents and community partners, and
fosters positive relationships between adolescents and adults who are important to them.
