| Description | The modern man‘s health draws a lot of attention from world organisations, and health education has become an obligatory requirement of school reforms. In the Czech Republic, health education is an obligatory part of school education, and it should in fact be present in all education work. Its implementation into everyday practice, however, is not satisfactory. Reasons for the slow implementation of health education in the practice are both general and specific. With little attention being paid to their analysis, declarations of demands and organisational proposals predominate. Health-promoting education cannot be perceived as a suplement to curriculum topics, but it should rather be integrated as a necessary part to the structure of the entire system of education. The author mentions several well-proven approaches that deserve to be incorporated to work of every school. |
