Skoolverpleging - 'n Voorligtingsuitdaging

Abstract

School health services cover three main areas which are health education, maintaining a healthy environment and services to school children. At present health education in schools is far from ideal. It should be planned according to the specific needs of chidren in each age group and for this purpose a specific health education curriculum is necessary. Health education should be an integrated part of school health services and in this regard the school nurse should serve as a role model and resource person — the expert on health matters.
