Students with Obesity Raise Health Education Concerns
Local and international survey results indicate that about one-third of students aged 13 to 17 suffer from obesity and overweight, reflecting a decline in the health status of young people in schools. This situation is attributed to multiple factors, including excessive reliance on technology, low levels of physical activity, non-compliance with health regulations, and poor quality of healthcare services in educational institutions. The Minister of Health revealed that the percentage of individuals engaging in physical activity for more than 60 minutes daily is no more than 12%, while the percentage of students not participating in PE classes reaches 31.5%. The Ministry of Education is working to improve the standards of school canteens, implement health regulation oversight, and activate legislation to protect students' health. It is also essential to enhance medical coverage and monitor dietary behaviors to reduce obesity rates and prevent the early onset of chronic diseases among students.
