From this, schools can develop specific plans for organizing and implementing health education communication activities that are appropriate to their actual conditions.

The document includes the following sections: Overview of school health and the importance of educating, caring for, protecting, and improving students' health; Overview and importance of health education communication in schools; Forms of health education communication in schools; Health behaviors and factors influencing the process of individual behavior change; Planning and implementing health education communication activities in schools.
