School health and nutrition (SHN)
programs are critical for achieving education for all (EFA)
as research has shown that improvements in health status
contribute to improvements in learning and academic
outcomes. Through programs targeted to address major health
conditions that are highly prevalent among poor
schoolchildren, (for example, iron deficiency anemia,
hunger, worm infections, diarrheal disease, and malaria) SHN
programs can have a large impact on children’s education,
increasing the time that they spend at school and their
ability to learn while at school. SHN programs are
recognized as important educational policy initiatives to
improve education outcomes. Furthermore, schools provide an
excellent platform for the delivery of child health and
nutrition services, where they can strengthen the
cost-effectiveness of health interventions and deliver gains
in participation and learning. In this paper, the policy
platform is documented as well as the type, coverage, and
the effect of the SHN interventions, followed by the key
areas identified for development and learning of the school
health promotion program (SHPP). |
