Excerpt
JOINT WHO/UNESCO EXPERT COMMITTEE ON TEACHER PREPARATION FOR HEALTH EDUCATION Report * An Expert Committee on Teacher Preparation for Health Education was held in Geneva from 2 to 7 November 1959 under the joint auspices of UNESCO and WHO. Dr M. G. Candau, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, formally opened the session and welcomed the members of the Expert Committee and the representative of the Food and Agriculture Organization. Dr Candau mentioned the growing world interest among education and health authorities in the health of school-age children and youth and the importance of this and other co-operative efforts in the field of health education. The Expert Committee, he said, could contribute guiding principles and a framework upon which the various countries could build definite plans and programmes for teacher preparation for health education. Mr P. T. Orata, Programme Specialist of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, brought greetings to the Committee from the Director-General of that Organization, Dr Vittorino Veronese. He emphasized the importance of teacher preparation for health education and the value of the kind of co-operation represented by the joint meeting.
