Education and well-being are mutually reinforcing, underlined by the UN multi-agency 2023 \u2018Ready to Learn and Thrive<\/a>\u2019 report. Students need to be in good health and feel well to be ready to learn, and those who enjoy quality education have better health outcomes. Schools have the potential to offer a comprehensive approach to improve physical, mental and social well-being, benefiting adolescents both short- and long-term. This is only possible if all stakeholders \u2013 including teachers and other school staff, students, families, local health professionals and decision-makers \u2013 work together, ensuring access to education and information to young people in all their diversity, so no-one is left behind. By examining two vital aspects of school life \u2013 the school environment and the processes of learning \u2013 we will offer practical advice and reflections emphasizing a coherent, intersectoral and inclusive approach to promoting well-being in schools. The session will include panel discussions and country-based case studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
