Abstract

The aim of this article is to develop a theoretical model to assess, govern, implement and evaluate health and wellness of an educational institution. This issue-based approach will work best if complemented by settings-based designs. The settings-based designs can be implemented in educational institutions and workplaces to address priority health problems by taking into account the complex health determinants such as behaviours, cultural beliefs, practices, etc

The following model has been drawn out with the intention of providing health and wellness among children in educational institutions with reference to the literature and experiences.

Key reasons for developing an institutional health promotion programme such as health care costs, illnesses which can be avoided, the technology revolution cause problems, stress due to overload and increasing diversity.

This theoretical model of Health and Wellness Promotion Management System will certainly help to implement a set of programmed in educational institutions taking in to account various aspects which directly or indirectly affect the health status of the community.
