As a society, we have a duty to safeguard the health and wellbeing of children and young people. While the determinants of health are complex and span multiple sectors, it is clear that education is a key social determinant of health. Healthy children and adolescents go on to achieve greater educational attainment and productivity later in life. Yet health and education remain largely isolated, with health and health promotion efforts in schools often seen as gradual additions rather than integral to the core mission of education.
