| Description: | The adoption of the School as a setting for Health Education is a relatively
recent phenomenon in Ireland, in that the formal recognition of its importance
and legitimacy on the timetable has fully informed some but not all of the
relevant Statutory and support agencies. The approach, as recognised by
Metcalfe (1993) has too often been ad·hoc, relying on individuals developing
parallel approaches in various pans of the country. On the other hand,
Williams (1991) maintains that as far as thinking, planning and philosophy of
school health education and promotion is concerned Ireland ranks with the
best in Europe'. The current situation then, is one of increasing leadership with
a number of development options. What follows is an overview of the activities
in school health education and promotion, based on the available literature and
information sources. |
