The initial aim was to outline a framework for a school policy on HIV
prevention. But the theoretical description of the model comprises a
comprehensive system for designing and implementing of a school policy for
health promotion. The elements and steps of development and implementation of
such a policy could be easily adapted and applied in other sectors of school
policies. The work on the model’s pilot implementation in 15 schools in 3
municipalities round the country (Byala Slatina, Loznitsa and Nessebar) allows
to try out the elements through practical application of the theoretically
developed principles and approaches and to draw conclusions and make
improvements in the model.
The main aspects and elements of the model for a health promotion school policy
include: developing a vision for the policy; defining a school mission, mandate
and goals; developing an organizational and community culture (rules and
regulations, values and traditions) for health promotion; developing
partnerships and working for establishing a physical and social environment
favourable for promotion of health among students.
