The Healthy Schools label aims to recognize the implementation of initiatives by schools to promote student health. It is awarded by a committee made up of health and education officials, based on criteria defined by each country or territory (see Framework Documents).

This approach offers numerous benefits for students:

• Healthy children are more likely to concentrate in class and to learn and understand better. Good health promotes academic success;
• Healthy children are more likely to achieve high levels of education;
• Quality education and a healthy environment allow children to develop good lifestyle habits and avoid risky behaviors.

In addition to directly contributing to student well-being through the implementation of concrete actions, this approach also offers benefits for schools.

=&gtThe label helps to promote schools’ commitment to health, to certify a certain level of expertise in establishments and to encourage inter-establishment exchanges on the development of a common culture around health promotion.

Teachers who are part of a school that has been awarded the Healthy School label, or that is working towards obtaining the label, as well as institutional contributors from health services and education services, can contribute to enriching the platform.
