- Summary
- "This volume examines the relationship between children's education and health from an international perspective and explores some of the more problematic legal and policy issues. The authors look at a broad range of often controversial issues such as sex, HIV, drugs, bullying, mental health, etc within both a national and international context. The discussion also raises broader questions concerning religious/moral rights within pluralistic societies and the relationship between authorities, teachers and families. At a time when child health is very much in the spotlight, this study highlights the importance of prevention in healthcare and the role of education in protecting and promoting the rights of the child."--BOOK JACKET.
