INTRODUCTION
Development of health of school children and the people
according to health promoting schools approach through promoting
the practice of self health care as well as enabling the control over
the determinants and environment that effect health under the
participation of local partners are important alternatives. Utilizing
educational setting as the starting point and center for promoting
health of the children, families, and community’s members is a
means to facilitate good health and happy living as well as good
quality of life.
The Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health, as
a focal organization responsible for Health Promoting Schools
Project, has developed the standard criteria for assessment of Health
Promoting Schools with an aim to serve as guidelines for schools
to implement the project. With this standard criteria, schools can
apply for an assessment by the district and provincial health pro
moting school assessment committee, and to receive certification as
health promoting school.
The Department of health hopes that this standard criteria
for assessment of health promoting school not only facilitates the
assessment health promoting school status, but also serves as a tool
for schools in continuing self development regarding health.

The Linkage of health promoting schools with educational
standard and basic education curriculum
The National Education Act.B.E.2542 has placed an emphasis on internal quality
assurance in every educational institution as a part of educational management process to
be continuously implemented with an aim to develop the quality of the learners. There
fore, educational standard in every institution needs to comply with that of its respective
organization and to respond to the quality assessment conducted by both the respective
and external organization.
The analysis of the linkage of health promoting school’s components with edu
cational standard and basic education curriculum B.E.2544 pointed out the consistency in
that health promoting school has partly led educational institution to move towards various
levels of standard as shown in the followings.

Standard Criteria for Assessment of Health
Promoting Schools
The Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health has implemented health
promoting school policy since 1998. Later in 2000, the Department of Health had devel
oped the standard criteria for assessment of health promoting schools to be used in every
province started in 2001. The standard criteria mainly emphasizes on process assessment
with an objective to measure the 5 core basic health promoting school development at the
initial phase. Its project monitoring suggested that most of the schools that meet the
standard criteria have various activities that effect the promotion of healthy behavior
among students. Thus, the Department of Health had decided to develop a broader cover
age standard criteria as an indicator and a criterion for achieving health promoting
school.
The standard criteria for assessment of health promoting school was developed
to cover 10 components : school policy; school management Practices; school and com
munity Project; healthy school environment; school health services; school health educa
tion; nutrition and food safety; Physical exercise, sports and recreation; counseling and
social support; and health promotion for staff. The assessment criteria and indicators under
the 10 components of the standard criteria reflect the level of implementation of each
component and its progress towards higher level of implementation of health promoting
schools.
■a Objectives
To facilitate schools in conducting self-assessment that lead to the improvement
and development to become standard health promoting school.
2. To serve as a tool for the district and provincial assessment teams in granting
health promoting school.
1.
■D Instruction for using the assessment form
The contents of each component of the standard criteria of health promoting
school include indicators, level of assessment, and sources / proof that indicate the actual
situation of school and lead to higher level of assessment.
The philosophy of assessment is “being friendly”, a positive approach. In case
schools did not pass certain criteria, they should be well advised to make improvement.
