#Schools4Health
Alarming trends of declining test scores in children and young people, coupled with increasing stress and burnout due to challenging working environments for teachers, demand urgent action. This impactful seminar, brought together leading experts and policymakers, and showcased the transformative power of 'Health-Promoting School' (HPS) approaches as a solution to these challenges.
Why HPS? Because 'when children and youth feel better, they do better!' HPS fosters a supportive environment that prioritises the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of students and teachers alike.
However, success requires collaboration. Implementation cannot be solely shouldered by schools. This seminar emphasises the crucial role of policymakers and agencies, parents and children, as well as the broader community in working together to create healthy school ecosystems.
