History and Development Strategy of School Health Education in Korea

The School Health Act was revised in 2007 and the contents of school health education was officially organized in the school curriculum in elementary, middle and high schools, since the contents of school health education disappeared in 1963. For the successful school health education, sufficient time for health education should be provided by opening health education course as an essential subject in every grade. The large scale schools need to have more school health teachers for performing efficient health education and in all schools there needs to be a reorganization of the teacher's complex works. For quality improvements of the health education, the change of principal's attitude and budget plan for health education are essential. Additionally, various training programs for school health teachers and developing effective educational materials should be provided.
