Debatable Issue

Schools don’t do enough to teach students about their health. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Health is the most important factor in the life of human, and there are various sources to get knowledge about the health. Some people say that schools do not teach lessons about the health to students while other believe that they are contributing enough. I believe that there are some schools which are sharing much about the health.

Nowadays, schools are making their contributions about the awareness of the health. As, schools are teaching subjects like science, in which there are many chapters about the health. Along with this, many schools have included multimedia system in the classes, in which the videos regarding topics like health are presented to the students to raise the awareness. For example, my cousin is in 6th class and in science, she has been taught about the balanced diet and healthy nutrition. This is clear example of the schools are educating students about the health.

On the other hand, in our country there are number of government schools not having well-equipped curriculum i.e. no any proper subjects or topics concerning about health. This can lead students to the improper diet as many of students are involved in eating fast food like pizza, Kentucky fried chicken etc. Furthermore, there are many schools in which unhealthy food is available at canteens which can be harmful for the diet of children.


To sum up, I tend to believe that, it is not responsibility of schools only but it is duty of parents and students too to take proper nutrition. In addition to this, Government should arrange programmes regarding health as it can help public to get enough knowledge about the importance of health.
