The Role of the Pediatrician in School Health

Education and health are mutually dependent. If the child is not healthy, then he or she cannot be educated due to increased absenteeism. If the child is a failure in school, lack of self-esteem affects health and the relationship to the family and community. School health programs exist to support the education process. Most schools require that these programs be directed by a physician. Because of his or her training and interest in school children, the pediatrician thus takes on the responsibility of planning a school health program or acting as a liaison between the school, the child, and the family.1
