many clues for imparting health education to individuals and groups. Safety First

The school has the responsibility for providing an environment that ensures safe living at school. It is necessary that safety is promoted in the classrooms, playgrounds, laboratories, workshops etc.

Lectures and Talks

The headmaster, teachers, school medical officer, local health authorities and the physical education instructor may deliver special lectures on various requisites of health and hygiene from time to time. After these talks students should be given opportunities to ask questions concerning these topics of health and hygiene to remove their doubts and to bring in their individual health problems. The impact of these lectures and talks on the students should also be evaluated from time to time.

Printed Material

The school can accumulate a lot of printed material on health and hygiene, such as books, booklets, charts, posters, pamphlets, leaflets etc. The health department, hospitals, red cross and other social welfare organizations can be contacted for relevant health literature. The teachers can themselves prepare charts, posters and leaflets on simple topics like food, exercise, personal cleanliness, healthy habits, prevention, diseases etc. The students can also be encouraged to prepare and display such materials.

Health Weeks

Health week may be celebrated in the school every year, in which special emphasis may be placed on personal hygiene, school cleanliness, community health etc. The students may engage in the thorough cleanliness of the school campus. They may also go to the village and do social service for its cleanliness. Various student committees may be formed regarding different aspects of personal cleanliness. Different committees may arrange competitions in their areas and award prizes to students having a better grasp of health education and its activities.

Health projects

Apart from health weeks, some specific health projects may also be undertaken by the school to promote health education. A campaign may be launched to combat dengue and reduce its incidence. The uneducated adults may be educated about personal hygiene. The eradication of mosquitoes can be another campaign Some exercise, drills, games and entertainments may also be introduced to serve some of the aspects of health education.

Health Clubs

Health clubs like other student clubs and societies can be organized in schools. These clubs can arrange debates, plays etc. on health matters in co-operation with Red Cross Society and Health Department. The members of these clubs should be duty bound to practice health rules in their daily lives.

Films and Film Strips

These are the latest devices for imparting health education. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and also the Public Relations departments prepare from time to time certain documentary films to acquaint the public with the causes, precautions and remedial measures of important diseases. These films also discouragebad habits like smoking, drinking, addiction, overeating, gambling etc. Importance of personal and social hygiene can be explained very effectively with the help of these films which have really done much service in making people health-minded. The films or film-strips on various aspects of health can be shown in the school from time to time. Film strips depicting various aspects of health can also be prepared in the school at a very low cost.

Radio

Radio talks are popular and effective medium for giving health education to the pupils and the public in general. Health rules, healthy habits, health standards, health requirements, health hazards etc. can be presented to the listeners through talks, poems, songs, plays etc. over the radio. The students not only get entertainment from radio programmes, but useful health instructions also.

Television
