Abstract:
In the framework of the current Lebanese environmental conditions, with the increase in the number of refugees, and the rapid spread of diseases among students in schools, it is important to raise awareness concerning health and healthy behaviors. Healthier students are better learners, more motivated, focused and less likely to be absent, thus their academic achievement would be higher. Schools are considered the perfect place to promote health. This present study was done to determine the role of schools' administrations in providing and promoting health education to students in schools in Nabatieh area in the five fields: 1-the nutritional, 2-physical, 3-personal health and hygiene, 4-mental, and 5-sexual health. Besides, the authors intended to determine the difference in health education implementation between private and public schools in Nabatieh area. The results revealed a significant role played by schools' administrations in health education implementation in the five fields with a slight difference in health education implementation between private and public schools.
