| Abstract: | Health education from an early age is one of the most effective means for addressing the increasing prevalence of diseases and rising health care costs. Despite the unique benefits of preschool health education, its global prevalence is not at the desired level. To explore the reasons behind this, we aimed to thoroughly identify the needs, demands, and knowledge of parents, teachers, and school administrators. The findings revealed that stakeholders are highly concerned about children's health and strongly motivated to demand health education. Parents primarily seek health education when their child is ill. The most commonly reported areas for health education include nutrition, food, hygiene, first aid, and issues related to abuse and neglect. On the other hand, areas perceived as less significant by stakeholders include diabetes, sexual health, sleep education, technology addiction, mental health, and school health. Teachers and school administrators expressed several requests from official institutions and non-governmental organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
