The FRESH approach to School Health

The FRESH (Framework resources on Effective School health) is the starting point for developing an effective school, health, hygiene and nutrition program in a more child-friendly and health-promoting school. The approach relies on four major components:

1. health-related school policies

2. access to safe water and provision of sanitation

3. skill-based approach to health, hygiene and nutrition education

4. school-based health and nutrition services

Implementation requires (1) inter-sectoral partnerships, especially between health and education; (2) partnership with the community, especially PTAs, and (3) active involvement of the school children.

For a comprehensive overview of the framework see FRESH.
