Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study seeks to investigate implications for school health of the recent international organizations’ well-being transition in health and education.
Methods: This study was conducted by reviewing literature related to health and well-being from international organizations published between 2018 and 2023. ‘WHO, OECD, UNESCO’ and ‘education, health, well-being’ were used as major search terms.
Results: A new social contract paradigm of international organizations requires education and health to play a transformative role in realizing individual and collective well-being. Transformative health and well-being education should play a role in solving numerous challenges such as inequality, mental problems, and community breakdown, and in leading changes in the whole school.
Conclusion: The implications are as the followings: 1) it is necessary to form a deep understanding and consensus on the great transition to the well-being paradigm as a new social contract; 2) the essence of education and health as the common good must be reflected in school health and a school health governance system based on cooperation and solidarity must be established; 3) along with establishing the concept and terminology of well-being appropriate for our situation, it is necessary to expand the scope of ‘school health’ to ‘school health and well-being’ and redesign the goals, main contents, and implementation strategies through the lens of well-being: 4) in order to practice regenerative and transformative roles of school health and well-being, active advocacy and participation from all members of the school community, including policy, research, and stakeholders are required.
