“Many young people are vulnerable to
coercion, abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted
infections. For this reason, UNESCO provides technical guidance on sexuality education to member states, including
promotion of good practices in menstruation education.”
UNESCO works to achieve Education
for All by promoting the health of every individual within the school
community. The Organization promotes good policies and practice in the
education sector, helps partners create safe learning environments, and
promotes life skills-based instruction through modern, interactive teaching
methods. UNESCO is guided by the recognition of humanity’s growing
interdependence and our need to collectively analyze the risks and challenges that
affect our health and ability to live together.
When addressing quality education,
health status plays a huge part. Children are not able to effectively learn
when they have to deal with the stress factors associated with major health
issues as in some third world countries.
It is important to have programs in
place to spread knowledge and awareness about the benefits of remaining
healthy. When children are aware and practice good health habits, they are more
likely to be healthier and spread the information to their families, including
children that may not be of school age at home. Once should never underestimate
the power of spreading the word.
