She began her visit at Manshiyet Husban Coeducational Secondary School in Naour, to participate in celebrating its accreditation as a Healthy School at the Gold level by the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS), for the academic year 2017/2018.
She was accompanied by the Education Minister, Dr. Azmi Mahafza she recognized them and their efforts in implementing and sustaining the national accreditation program for several years.
She was also meeting with a group of principals and health teachers from the past academic year’s gold accredited schools, who outlined the impact of the program on their schools’ environment, students, staff, and local communities.
The program aims to create health-promoting environments within Jordanian schools that reflect positively on students’ physical and social development, as well as their academic performance.
RHAS Director General, Ms. Hanin Odeh, indicated that the number of schools participating in the accreditation program is increasing, with 132 schools participating in Healthy Schools during the past academic year. Ms. Odeh stated that 16 received the gold accreditation, 44 received the silver accreditation, and 37 received the bronze-level accreditation. Moreover, 11 schools were awarded “Health Competent” status, providing a one-year period to enhance their health programs, and enroll again in the next academic year.
Her Majesty concluded her visit by meeting the RHAS Board of Trustees, where Odeh outlined RHAS’s strategy through 2022.
The strategy focuses on raising awareness about anemia and healthy nutrition, advocating for tobacco control to protect children from secondhand smoking, expanding the reach of drugs prevention and adolescents’ protection from risky behaviors programs, as well as concentrating efforts to increase numbers of male schools in the Healthy Schools program.
For her part, Her Majesty underlined the need to increase the public’s awareness of healthy practices through the development of relevant educational literature, adding that Jordan must build and expand on past successes in order to benefit a greater number of people.
