Answer 1

Ans) a.Children spend many hours at school, providing an opportunity for a healthy influence upon children

Explaination:

- Health education builds students' knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes about health. Health education teaches about physical, mental, emotional and social health. It motivates students to improve and maintain their health, prevent disease, and reduce risky behaviors.
- Coordinated School Health was a term originally coined by the Centers for Disease Control to describe child health programs that synthesize the different factors working together to improve the health of a child including school health education, community involvement, family engagement, physical environment, health services, and more.

A Coordinated School Health program can:
- reduce absenteeism and classroom behavior problems;
- address risky youth behaviors such as lack of physical activity, poor diet, early sexual activity, and tobacco use;
- improve classroom performance
- better prepare students to be productive members of their communities.
