The IUHPE is actively engaged in these global efforts through a number of activities aiming:
to highlight the unique potential of schools to promote both health and education outcomes, based on a solid body of evidence developed in the past;
to contribute to reducing unacceptable health inequities that exist in our world; and
to address the issues that hinder more effective school health, including encouraging dialogue and endorsement by health and education officials, and building capacity and advancing knowledge in low- and middle-income countries.
