STEPS TO CONDUCT THE SCHOOL HEALTH CHECK-UP The following steps are suggested for initiating and planning a The following steps were followed in conducting School health health programme programs in the Kailash Puram Government School. Step 1: Visit each school in the area where we work. Talk informally and unofficially with the principal and teachers to discover 1. Kinds of health problems that are evident in the school 2. What are the steps taken towards the problem? 3. What teachers think and should be done to prevent and subsidise the problem? 4. Observe the environment and note the latrine facilities, water supply, light and ventilation and provision for school lunch and record whether all the children were vaccinated. Step 2: Record your exploratory visit to each school and complete a report showing the location of each classroom. Step 1: Visited each school in the urban area and eventually the Kailaspuram Government School was selected.
