The Ministry of Human Resource and Development and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has assigned National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) the task to prepare curriculum and training material and facilitator guide related to health and wellness of school going children as a part of the Ayushman Bharat, which is a flagship programme of the Government of India.
The School Health Programme is built on a cascade training approach that will create a pool of key resource persons who in turn will train teachers as health ambassadors. The present Facilitator Guide on School Health Programme prepared by NCERT is to help the facilitator to implement this programme effectively in schools. In this area, the facilitator besides training of teachers as health ambassador, has to contribute to other crucial components of the programme implementation such as selection of master trainer, role of different stakeholders, monitoring and evaluations, etc.
This Facilitator Guide includes the rationale, vision, objectives of School Health Programme. It also discusses in brief the eleven themes covered in the Training and Resource Materials, suggested methods and activities to facilitate the transaction of life skills based education by the teachers to children of upper primary to secondary stage using interaction methodology in schools. Road map for the implementation of this programme, role of various stakeholders, agenda for training of teachers and feedback in terms of pre and post test are also part of this Guide.
I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Professor Saroj Yadav, Dean (Academic) and Project Coordinator, NPEP/AEP and her colleagues Dr. Bijaya Malik and Mr. Harish Meena of the National Population Education Project for this material. I hope this Facilitator Guide will be useful in enabling all the stake holders to implement this programme effectively in schools. NCERT welcomes comments and suggestions, which will enable us for further revision and refinement.
