Qualifying the contribution of school health service to school achievement

: School as a place of learning and living for children has also recognised the responsibility for children's health. For effectively supporting the schools in health promotion, it will be necessary to assist and expand. Special need of development exists in the health care of school beginners. Therefore, three initial phases in school health care for school beginners are suggested. Recent reform policy in primary schools has been taken into consideration. Especially the dialogue between teachers and school physicians must be promoted. Focus is also on the "Jugendsprechstunde" (youth consulting hours) in secondary schools. Guidelines for youth consulting in school are reported. This part of school health care cannot be successful without considering the interests and needs of school children. To achieve the goals of development School Health Service receive support by the present national "KJGD-Campaign"): In addition small-scale service organisations should assist each other. Questioning of schools may also stimulate further development. Demands made by teachers on school health care development are therefore reported.
