2015
The nutrition condition among school pupils in the world has gotten worse to an epidemic situation. The obesity rate is
25% in the developed countries while among Arab pupils in Israel, it has risen by 34%. Only 23% of the pupils perform
physical activities weekly. The objectives of this article are raising awareness and changing behavior among pupils and their
parents about healthy nutrition and the importance of physical activity; reducing 40% of obesity among pupils; increasing
the physical activities by 60% on a weekly basis among school pupils. Achieving these objectives requires conducting Body
Mass Index (B.M.I) survey by skilled nurses for all school pupils before and after the health promotion invention program at
school; conducting a needs assessment study; a questionnaire. School should continue using the program for the next 5 years
in such a way that would make other schools use it. In addition, more community volunteers and sponsors as well as the school
community should be recruited as part of the program.
