Health education is also an essential component of the total school health program which is comprised of several elements including school health services, the healthful school enviroment, and health instruction. Comprehensive school health education emphasizes physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being and initiates a process of life-long learning designed to promote health and prevent disease. |
