| Description | The previous article on health education in France stated that although most modern countries support the inclusion of health risk prevention, and active health education into schools’ curricula (considering them to be educational priorities) the actual ideas of how to implement these may differ in each country. Despite the fact that both France and the Czech Republic, as European countries, are relatively similar in their cultural identities, their priorities when it comes to the health education of the younger generation, reveal the differences. These differences are conditioned by history, geography and culture. The article deals with the health education programmes created and offered by MGEN, the health insurance company specialising in health insurance for the Civil Service employees of the departments of Education, Science and Research, and Youth and Sport. |
