Students should be educated on the need for cleanliness of their surroundings. Health education is essential in every educational endeavour. At least one professional public health worker should be assigned to every school to see to the health needs of the students. Many diseases children contract from their peers can be avoidable if someone was there to educate these children on some important health issues.

On this note, I will say teachers must also learn more on health to help their students in satisfying their health needs for health is not only the absence of diseases but also a complete physical, mental and social well-being of a person.
