Planning for healthy and thriving learners aims to translate high-level commitments into concrete action, placing learners’ health and well-being at the center of education systems. It provides practical tools, builds capacity, and empowers education authorities to take the driving seat in mobilizing support and resources from other sectors.
Together with UNESCO, African Union, Global Partnership for Education, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UNICEF, WFP, WHO, UNESCO chair Global Health and Education, UNESCO IICBA, and UNESCO IIEP, we are working to make learners’ health and well-being central to education.
