Regional Program

Fit for School

Component 1

Strengthening of school health within SEAMEO

INNOTECH (regional level)

Component 2

Capacity strengthening within national education

systems

Component 3

Piloting of FIT approach in intervention schools and preparation of expansion

School health is positioned and

integrated as strategic approach within

SEAMEO INNOTECH

Relevant organisational structures of the education Ministries are enabled to

assume their planning and steering responsibility in

the context of school health. Thereby they work

intersectoral and collaborate closely with

other relevant sectors, e.g. health, water/sanitation,

nutrition.

Partner organisations have implemented and

evaluated the FIT approach in selected

schools and have analysed the results

with regard to a further expansion.
