Health Promoting Schools initiatives

WHO and UNESCO launched a new initiative “Making Every School a Health-Promoting School” in 2018 and developed Global Standards for Health Promoting Schools along with an implementation guide and other advocacy materials. The initiative is expected to serve over 2.3 billion school-age children and will contribute to WHO’s 13th General Programme of Work’s target of achieving “1 billion lives made healthier” by 2023 and to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals in the field of education and health. Health Promoting Schools have been recognized as a strategic vehicle to promote positive development and healthy behaviors such as physical activity, physical fitness, recreation and play, balanced nutrition, preventing tobacco use, preventing being bullied, and creating an enabling environment for teaching and learning. To accelerate global progress, a standards-driven approach towards the implementation of the recommendation that “every school should be a health-promoting school” is developed to support country implementation.
