This book is particularly aimed at students training to be teachers although it will also be valuable for practising teachers. As well as containing useful background knowledge on health matters, there are numerous teaching suggestions showing how health education can be brought to life in the classroom. The CHILD-to-child approach is used throughout this book. CHILD-to-child is an International Programme which teaches and encourages children of school age to concern themselves with the health, welfare and general development of their younger pre-school brothers and sisters. By teaching such subjects as nutrition, infectious diseases, hygiene and basic first aid, the health of the whole community can be improved.
