Report of the first Virtual Meeting of the External Advisory Group EAG for the development of Global Standards for Health Promoting Schools and their implementation guidance Book PDF Summary
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a health promoting school as “a school that is constantly strengthening its capacity as a healthy setting for living, learning and working”. Health promoting schools (HPS) have been recognized as strategic vehicles for promoting positive development and healthy behaviours such as physical activity, physical fitness, recreation and play, and balanced nutrition, and for preventing tobacco use, bullying and aggressive behaviour. Although the concept of HPS was articulated by WHO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund in 1992, few countries have successfully implemented HPS at scale. Even fewer have made sustainable institutional changes so that health can be integrated and sustained in all aspects of school life and the education system – teaching content and methodology, school governance, campus and facility management, and cooperation with partners and the broader community. To address this problem, UNESCO is working with WHO and other United Nations agencies to redefine school health as an approach that is embedded and sustained within the education system. WHO and UNESCO consequently launched a new initiative – “Making Every School a Health Promoting School” – by developing and promoting global standards for HPS. The initiative will serve over 2.3 billion school-age children and will contribute to one of the targets of WHO’s 13th General Programme of Work – i.e. “1 billion lives made healthier” by 2023.
