GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR EDUCATION :
"Healthier students are better learners: why health and education sectors need to work together?"
"Schools are powerful social institutions that can improve every child’s health and wellbeing and enhance the learning and life chances of each generation through school health programs. (...) Every child deserves to thrive and every child deserves a quality education. Through our support to education and health ministries to collaborate around school based health programming we can realize the essential foundation of children’s good health and readiness to learn."
