Teacher’s manuals for healthy lifestyle classes in Armenian schools

As part of the reform of school education in Armenia, classes on healthy lifestyles have become mandatory for pupils in grades 5-11. Seventeen academic hours are allocated annually. During these lessons, specially trained teachers discuss with students a wide range of topics, including maturation and development, healthy eating and physical activity, safety, mental and emotional health, interpersonal relationships, disease prevention, reproductive health, and prevention of bad habits, violence and bullying.
