Learning Area of Health and Physical Education

Why it is necessary to learn health and physical

education

Health or state of health means the human condition

with full development in all respects—physical, mental,
social and intellectual or spiritual. Health or state of health
is therefore important, as it is linked to all dimensions of
life. All should learn about health for acquisition of
knowledge, accurate understanding with proper attitude,
morality and appropriate values, as well as practical skills
in health for acquiring hygienic habits, resulting in the
achievement of a society of quality.

What is learned in health and physical education

health with the aims of maintaining and strengthening
health and sustainable development of quality of life of
individuals, families and communities.
Health Education places emphasis on enabling

knowledge, attitude, morality, values and health practices.
