INCLUDING HEALTH EDUCATION IN SCHOOL CURRICULA:

• During the implementation of the national health education project in schools, EFHS came to realize the great need for including a lot of health education information in the school curricula.
• It is known that school curricula are the most cost-effective way to provide health awareness to large numbers of students in a sustainable manner and such information is always accurate, acceptable and welcomed by students, parents and the community as a whole.
• EFHS conducted several meetings with educational authorities and experts from the School Curriculum Development in the Ministry of Education in 2014 and resulted in conducting an extended workshop that ended by the development of a comprehensive understanding of the health awareness matters that needed to be introduced in the different school levels.
• The Minister of Education at that time accepted all what was included in the developed document that ordered to be printed as an official publication of the MOE.
• We hope that one day, someone would look again at this document and make it happens.
