The Future of Health Education

Abstract

Considers the future of health education in relation to schools; explores the continuing need for health education of young people and hence the priorities for schools; and addresses the current dilemmas, uncertainties and opportunities that affect the provision of health education in schools. Relates principally to health education in schools in England. Reviews the impact of recent Education Acts on the provision of health education in schools and examines how the new system of inspection of schools could and should work in relation to health education. Summarizes the early work on the health‐promoting schools project.
