Good health increases enrollment and reduces absenteeism, and brings more of the poorest and most disadvantaged children to school, many of whom are girls. It is these children who are often the least healthy and most malnourished, and who have the most to gain educationally from improved health. Effective school health programs that are developed as part of community partnerships provide one of the most cost-effective ways to reach school age children, adolescents, and the broader community, and are a sustainable way to promote healthy practices. The new FRESH framework (Focusing Resources on Effective School Health) is the starting point for developing an effective school health, hygiene and nutrition program in a more child friendly and health promoting school. This Note summarizes ways to improve school health and increase educational outcomes.CC BY 3.0 IGOSCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMSSCHOOL CHILDREN'S NUTRITIONQUALITY OF EDUCATIONPOOR CHILDRENCHILD NUTRITIONCHILDREN NUTRITIONHEALTH EDUCATIONSAFE WATER SUPPLYGIRLS' EDUCATION SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMSSCHOOL CHILDREN'S NUTRITIONQUALITY OF EDUCATIONPOOR CHILDRENCHILD NUTRITIONCHILDREN NUTRITIONHEALTH EDUCATIONSAFE WATER SUPPLYGIRLS' EDUCATIONACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO FAMILY PLANNINGADEQUATE SANITATION FACILITIESADOLESCENT GIRLSADOLESCENT PREGNANCIESADOLESCENTSAGEDALCOHOL EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION STRATEGIESCHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD SURVIVALCHILDREN WITH DISABILITIESCOMMUNITIESCONDOMSCONTRACEPTIVE SERVICESCURRICULUMCURRICULUM SKILLSDISABILITIESDISADVANTAGED CHILDRENDISCRIMINATIONDROP-OUTSEARLY CHILD CAREEARLY CHILDHOODEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONEPIDEMICFAMILIESFAMILY LIFEFAMILY LIFE EDUCATIONFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFORMAL LEARNINGGENDERGENDER BIASGIRLS IN EDUCATIONGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESGROSS ENROLMENTGROSS ENROLMENT RATESHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH POLICIESHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH SYSTEMSHELMINTH INFECTIONHELMINTH INFECTIONSHIVHIV INFECTIONHIV/AIDSHYGIENEHYGIENE EDUCATIONINTERVENTIONIRONLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING ENVIRONMENTLIFE SKILLSLIFESTYLESMENTAL DEVELOPMENTMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMORBIDITYNEW ENTRANTSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF GIRLSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUTRITIONNUTRITION EDUCATIONNUTRITION PROGRAMORPHANSPOOR HEALTHPREGNANCYPREGNANT GIRLSREPETITION RATESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRURAL CHILDRENSAFE WATERSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION IN SCHOOLSSCHOOL AGESCHOOL AGE CHILDRENSCHOOL AGED CHILDRENSCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL CURRICULUMSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL HEALTHSCHOOL HEALTH INTERVENTIONSSCHOOL POLICIESSCHOOL POPULATIONSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL-AGESCHOOL-AGE CHILDSCHOOL-AGE CHILDRENSCHOOLSSECONDARY SCHOOLSEXSEX EDUCATIONSEXUAL ACTIVITYSEXUAL INTERCOURSESEXUALITYSEXUALITY EDUCATIONSKILLED WORKFORCESMOKINGSOCIAL EQUITYSOCIETYSUBSTANCE ABUSETEACHERSTEENUNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATIONUNWANTED PREGNANCIESVITAMIN AVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE CHILDRENYOUNG MOTHERSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/9779
