Health education will be included at all school levels as part of the curriculum. Health and nutrition officer Shahram Rafeei at the ministry of health said while the program was included in the past, “it was not taken seriously enough.” He added that now separate textbooks for the course will be published along with a guidebook for families. It is hoped that health education will help curb the rise of non-communicative diseases in society, he said quoted by ISNA.
