contributions of health education to nation development?

Well, my boyfriend is the health teacher in our building and let me tell you that kids have no idea about health.\n\nFor example, here is what one student said after a semester of male anatomy, they called the pituitary gland the testicles.  In one way she was right that some guys do think with their "lower brain."\n\nMany of my students do not know about the anatomy and the effects of drugs/alcohol.  Do you want the future generation to think that the pituitary gland is really the testicles?  I know I don't.

Prevention is better than cure. It can happen anywhere anytime again, so what we should do is helping poor countries to develop. If they have no reason to strike, they are less likely to do it.

Except for the poorest of third world countries, almost any  country in the world has some form of welfare implemented, either in the form of public healthcare, social security, or at least a retirement scheme, or a combination of these.\nSome countries tend to have more effective and protective welfare systems that others, however. (The US being among the worst in the first world, and the only industrialized nation that does not have a comprehensive public healthcare system.)

The UN Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy, childbirth, and other factors for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. The index was developed in 1990 by the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, and has been used since 1993 by the United Nations Development Programme in its annual report.\n\nThe HDI measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development:\n\nA long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth. \nKnowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weight). \nA decent standard of living, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) in USD. \nEach year, UN member states are listed and ranked according to these measures. Those high on the list often advertise it, as a means of attracting talented immigrants (economically, individual capital) or discouraging emigration.

Better education - education that focuses not on how well you do on a standardized test, but in thinking and reasoning through a problem you are presented with.  Education should also include a firm grounding in other cultures and on a variety of religions in order to counter the insularity and intolerance that has led to the current international situation.  We've got a lot to be proud of and our own unique heritage, but we've also got a superiority complex that isn't entirely deserved and which leads to a lot of conflict.\n\nBetter health care - I know that a lot of people think that it's socialism to provide universal health care, but if you think about it, who's benefiting by the current system?  Hospitals are going bankrupt because poor people can't pay thousands in medical bills.  People are dying or needing expensive long-term care for conditions easily treatable in their early stages - but that were not detected because the patients had no insurance and therefore could not get the checkups that could have saved their lives.  Their families are going bankrupt trying to pay for the medical care to save their lives.  Businesses are losing millions because of workers who are either missing or working sick.  The only ones making money are the pharmaceutical companies, and they're making a killing while taking us for all we're worth and then some.\n\nHigher minimum wage.  A person who works hard for 40 hours a week should not have to be on welfare to feed their family, and should be able to take their children to the doctor for their school shots without having to wonder how they're going to pay for food for the next week.\n\nThat's just the top three.  But take care of those, and you've taken care of a whole lot of the problems that are plaguing our country.

Physical Education provides physical benefits because of the exercise involved.  In addition, students learn the importance of nutrition and fitness.  Social skills are developed through lessons that involve teamwork, cooperation, and confidence building.  Finally, the economy can improve because of the added health benefits of an active community.  Without activity, individuals will become obese, which results in heart disease and diabetes, as well as many other obesity-related conditions.  This takes a toll on healthcare.  With a healthy community, millions of dollars will be saved.

Education, as you envision it, is very difficult to implement.  And it certainly won't fix all the health problems.\n\nThere are millions of dollars spent telling people not to smoke.  Every package of cigarettes has some warning telling the smoker that smoking is not good for them.  Yet milions of people smoke.\n\nI don't know if your idea would extend to 'when those smokers get emphysema or lung cancer, let 'em die, since they should have known better....we need to spend more on education', but this is not a very humanitarian health care system.\n\nFurthermore, while the average human life span in the developed world has substantially increased due to technology, as people live longer, there are more things that happen to them.  You can't simply expect to 'educate' away disease.  That just won't work.

I will assume you mean National Underdevelopment.\n\nUnderdevelopment is caused by a lack of investment (either public or private) into vital institutions such as infrastructure, education, public health, security, communications and defense.\n\nIf a nation is not able to provide services such as these to its population, then the nation cannot take part in commerce which means the people cannot begin to live beyond subsistence which means they cannot build a growing and stable society.

It covers a myraid of different things.  I have several friends who educational backgroud is health education.  They all work at the health dept now.   That degree lends itself to many different career opportunities.  My friends do a bit of PR for things like prostrate health, breast cancer, etc...  They do public speaking in the community about health concerns.\nThey also head clubs at our local high schools to discourage smoking.    Its almost like doing PR for Healthy living.

Basically what we now call nation-building.  League of Nations - global economic realities.  Love this quote:  "A progressive country would be one where the people were able to take care of themselves."

This is a very hard question to answer. We know that all these issues are important. Education is often the way out of poverty, but children have a hard time learning if they are hungry, ill, or live in unsafe conditions. Yet, it is not enough just to give people health care, food, and shelter. Somehow we have to give them these things, but also give them hope for the future. Somehow we have to do it all. Head Start and Even Start are great programs and they do help. They give children nutrition, health care, and education. Hopefully their families are getting adequate housing at the same time. Workforce job training is a good program if people can be trained in jobs that are in demand and if they can be transitioned into jobs and not just have the rug pulled out from under them as soon as they get a paycheck. Somehow, I still feel that education and training is what is going to give the biggest bang for the buck, but only with the necessary support services to see individuals in poverty through to the end. I have heard it said that many of the education/training programs attempt to give a hand up, not a hand out. I think that is probably true. Nothing can raise a person's self-esteem like feeling like they are successful. Education can do that, whether it is completing pre-school, high school, or college. For that reason, I still feel education is the best way to fight poverty.

How 'bout doing it one thing at a time. Healthcare's more critical at the moment. I mean, talk about the only industrialized country, and a superpower to boot, which doesn't have a national healthcare system. Social Security doesn't count.
