CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The school health and nutrition programme encompasses school programmes jointly organized
by education and health sectors to enhance health, nutrition and education status of children
aged 5-10 years by improving use of school-based health and nutrition services, safe water and
sanitation andskills-based health education and community support and policy environment.
In Nepal students spend about 200 days in the school in a year. Most of the time they spend (six
to seven hours a day) in school. Their mental and physical health is greatly influenced by their
interaction in the school environment. The school is one of the agencies that could contribute
more than any other institution to promote the health of young people and school personnel. The
school has a role of in lieu of parents. The school years are formative time for the children.
The status of health and nutrition of school children in Nepal is not well understood. Health and
nutrition services for the school populace do not come under the priority of the health workers.
Nor the school is concerned with children’s health because of their priority in academic matters.
The impact of health and nutrition status to the learning achievement is getting less attention.
According to Global Initiatives in School Health and Nutrition Programme, The World Health
Organization’s Expert Committee on School Health Services, around 1950s, highlighted a
connection between health and education that to learn effectively children need good health
(WHO, 1950). In the late 1980, definition of school health changed as societies changed. The
following eight areas of SHNP were identified (Allenworth D, Kolbe L. eds, 1987):
School health services
School health education
School health environment (physical and psychosocial)
Health promotion for school personnel
School outreach programme and school-community projects
Nutrition and food safety
4. 2
Physical education and recreation; and
Mental health, counseling and social supports.
School Health and Nutrition (SHN) program is a cost-effective intervention for resource-poor
countries. SHN program aims to provide timely support and preventive measures to improve the
health of school children, which can be associated with their cognitive development, learning,
and academic performance. Stakeholders at different tiers can play significant roles in the
program implementation and its success. Their perceptions are equally important to provide
information on the factors influencing the implementation process and help to identify the gaps
in the process.
School Health and Nutrition Project has developed a Minimum School Health Services Package
to conduct School Health and Nutrition Activities. Following are the Major Activities of the
Package including Physical Check-up Measuring height, weight and eye sight of children at
target schools once a year to know the nutrition status of children. De-worming Program
Distributing de-worming tablets to children at target schools twice a year to make them
dewormed. Also provide information regarding prevention of worm infestation. First Aid
Services Provided First Aid Kit Box to all the target schools. Also trained the teachers on
utilization of First Aid Kit Box to provide first aid services to children. School Check List
Prepared ‘School Check List’. This is a self-evaluation check sheet used by schools to improve
school environment and health and nutrition behaviors and habits of children. Child Club
Mobilization Supporting to mobilize the Child Club in all the target schools. Child Club
members are the main actors to support School Health and Nutrition Activities in their schools as
well as in their community.
1.2 Statement of the problem
In Nepal students spend about 200 days in the school in year. Most of the time they spend (six to seven
hours a day) in school. Their mental and physical health is greatly influenced by their interaction in the
school environment. The school is one of the agencies that could contribute more than any other
institution to promote the health of young people and school personne.The school has a role of in lieu of
parents.The school years are formative time for the children. the school settings provides an effective
means of enhancing young peoples health, self esteem, life skills (abilities related to effective decision-
5. 3
making, communication understandingemotions, critical thinking, coping with stress etc.) and behaviour.
(WHO: 1997)
Nepal Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) 2016, reports 36 % of children under five years are
affected by stunting, 27 % are underweight and 10% are wasted. Malnutrition affects education
and cognitive developments of school age children and has a direct impact on health and
education goals.
1.3 Rationale of the problem
Studies carried out in many developed and developing countries haave shown that SHNP is
crucial to address many pressing health and nutrition problems such as malnutrition short-term
hunger, helminthes infection, poor sanitation and food safety, lack of immunizations, poor oral
health, infectious and endemic diseases. Health is a key determinant in school enrolment as well
as continued participation and educational attainment of students in school.
Nepal faces a high burden of childhood diseases, micro-nutrient deficiency, macro-nutrient
deficiency (iron deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, Iodine deficiency) worm infestations,
malnutrition and oral diseases. Preventable diseases burden school age children, due to poor
coverage of school health and nutrition services and poor hygiene and sanitation facilities.
