How to make Hong Kong schools a hub for better health

Scanning Hong Kong's schools, one feels sad to see them getting unhealthier by the year. Different
sorts of student problems, whether emotional, interpersonal, or behavioural, crop up and plague
schools to varying degrees.
The list is long, ranging from emotional outbursts, depression, and substance abuse to bullying,
gang fights, teenage pregnancies and lack of respect for authority, plus a wide range of learning
difficulties, the seriousness of which is aggravated by the rash introduction of the integrated
education policy, under which special needs students are placed in mainstream schools.
On the whole, students are unhappy, lacking self-esteem and self-confidence, although still scoring
high on international tests. Educators are no healthier either. Incessant reform efforts and the
lingering threat of school closures over the past decade have taken their toll, as have increased
workloads, physical exhaustion and depression. Regrettably, schools have become an unhealthy place
to study and work in. This issue deserves serious attention - as an unhealthy school environment can
only breed unhealthy students.
Health is important for both personal and societal development. The World Health Organisation (WHO)
defines health holistically, seeking physical, social and mental health for all citizens. To them,
the school is one important setting in which holistic health should be sought for all. Building
healthy schools is also one of their most important strategies in the battle for global health. They
have been striving to build regional centres to promote school health and foster healthy attitudes
in schoolchildren.
According to the WHO, a healthy school is supposed to be built around six core areas: health
policies, health services, health training for students, school ethos, physical environments and
school-community relations. Obviously, it is prevention taking precedence over treatment and a total
approach to school health and improvement, but in practice, individual schools are free to choose
the entry point and level of engagement.
Hong Kong, fortunately, has been making its own efforts to promote school health. The Healthy School
Award Scheme (2001-2004) and the subsequent QEF Thematic Network for Healthy Schools (2011-2015),
both supported by the Quality Education Fund, have managed to inculcate a new, health-promoting
culture in schools. Under these projects, around 500 schools have participated in the business of
health education and health promotion. Some schools participating in these enterprises even managed
to win awards that will qualify them for the WHO regional registry as health promoting schools.
In fact, Hong Kong has become a regional leader regarding school health promotion, thanks to the
ongoing collaboration between the government and education and health professionals. We have built a
basic curriculum and training structure for school health promotion and also a sound infrastructure
to audit achievements, confer awards, disseminate good practice and spread the health message.
Research results have also shown that schools joining the health-promoting movement have experienced
better health, in terms of better health achievements and learning for their students, better school
ethos and so on. More importantly, we have also nurtured a community of health-promoting schools
which have the potential to become mentors to their peers.
Schools that have benefited from this experience can serve as standard-bearers for health promotion,
spreading the message to others. Hopefully, this practice will ultimately extend to all schools and
kindergartens in the city. In addition, Hong Kong can also benefit from links with other major
health-promoting players both regionally and globally in terms of information and experience
exchange, and can also serve as a hub to promote regional resilience in the face of growing health
threats.
