A Health-Promoting School approach helps enhance the well-being of students by addressing physical, mental, and social health through preventive and supportive initiatives. By involving the school community—teachers, families, and local organizations—it fosters a collective responsibility for health, leading to healthier behaviors, reduced absenteeism, and improved academic engagement. WHO's 1996 vision for such schools highlights their role as influential settings for health development, with a ripple effect that benefits families and the surrounding community.
