Health education and health promotion activities will also be conducted to strengthen students’ awareness of healthy behaviors and preventive health practices.
As part of the broader school health approach, teacher training sessions will be conducted periodically on communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as mental health, enabling teachers to play a stronger role in promoting health and identifying key health concerns within the school environment.
The program was developed based on findings from a needs assessment and workshop conducted on 5 September 2022.

Introduction
Under the Young Leaders Collaboration for Global Health (YLCGH) Nepal initiative, a physical measurement and vision screening program was conducted at Shree Bhanodaya Basic School. The activity targeted students from grades 1 to 8 and aimed to assess their nutritional status through anthropometric measurements and identify possible visual impairments through visual acuity screening. The program focused on early screening and timely identification of potential health concerns to facilitate appropriate intervention and referral.
Objectives
Assess the nutritional status of students through height and weight measurement.
Screen students for visual impairment using the Snellen chart.
Identify students with possible health concerns requiring further evaluation.
Promote early detection and referral for timely medical intervention.
Participants
Grades: 1 to 8 students
Total number of participants: 220 students
Methodology
The project was conducted systematically across three phases:
Phase 1: Registration and Orientation
Students were registered grade-wise, and the objectives of the health screening program were explained to students and teachers. Instructions were provided to ensure smooth coordination throughout the screening activities.
Phase 2: Height and Weight Measurement
Height and weight measurements were recorded for all participating students using standard measuring equipment. These measurements were used to assess nutritional status and identify students who may require further nutritional evaluation or follow-up.
Phase 3: Visual Acuity Testing
Visual acuity assessment was conducted using the Snellen chart under appropriate testing conditions. Each student was screened individually to identify possible distant vision problems and determine students requiring further ophthalmological evaluation.
Outcomes
Nutritional assessment completed: Height and weight measurements were successfully recorded for all 220 participating students.
Visual screening findings: Ten students were identified with reduced visual acuity during the screening process.
Referral and follow-up: The identified students were advised to visit a hospital for further ophthalmological evaluation and appropriate management.
Health awareness promotion: The screening program increased awareness among students and teachers regarding the importance of regular health check-ups and early detection of visual problems.
Observations
Students were cooperative and actively participated throughout the screening activities.
Teachers and school staff provided valuable assistance in coordinating students during the program.
Most students demonstrated normal visual acuity during the assessment.
The screening activities were completed efficiently with good cooperation from all grades.
Recommendations
Regular periodic health screenings: Similar health screening programs should be conducted periodically to ensure early detection of nutritional and visual health concerns.
Strengthen referral follow-up: Schools should establish follow-up systems to ensure that students identified during screening receive appropriate medical evaluation and care.
Promote health awareness: Continued awareness programs regarding nutrition, vision care, and personal health should be encouraged among students and parents.
Conclusion
The Physical Measurement and Vision Screening Program conducted at Shree Bhanodaya Basic School was successfully completed and achieved its objectives of assessing nutritional status and screening for visual impairment among students. The identification of ten students with reduced visual acuity highlights the importance of routine school-based health screening for early detection and timely referral. YLCGH Nepal expresses sincere gratitude to the school administration, teachers, and students for their cooperation and support in making the program successful.

Under the Young Leaders Collaboration for Global Health (YLCGH) Nepal initiative, a school health education session on First Aid for Animal Bite was conducted at Shree Bhanodaya School on 20th August 2025. Targeted at selected students from grades 7 and 8, the session aimed to create peer-educators who could share correct first-aid actions and rabies prevention messages with their families and communities.
Objectives
Teach students immediate first-aid steps after an animal (dog) bite.
Explain rabies transmission, symptoms, and the importance of timely post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Reinforce wound washing technique and the recommended duration for cleaning.
Identify animals that can transmit rabies and common signs of rabid animals.
Select and motivate student leaders to spread the information in their peer groups and households.
Participants
Grades: 7 and 8
Total number of participants: 19 students
Methodology
The session followed a three-phase interactive format:
Phase 1: Pre-test
A baseline assessment (12 MCQ items in Nepali/English) was administered to assess existing knowledge on animal bites, wound care, rabies transmission, and PEP schedules.
Phase 2: Presentation & Demonstration
Covered topics:
Causes and modes of rabies transmission (infected saliva into fresh wound).
Immediate first-aid steps (wash wound with soap and water giving emphasis on duration).
Do’s and don’ts after a bite (e.g., avoid tight bandaging, seek medical care).
Animals that can carry rabies (dogs, cats, bats, etc.).
PEP schedule and importance of hospital visit after an exposure.
Phase 3 : Post-test
The same MCQ questionnaire was repeated to measure knowledge gain and retention immediately after the session.
Outcomes
Knowledge gain: Overall improvement in correct responses from pre-test to post-test across most items.
Peer-education readiness: Selected students expressed willingness to teach friends and family and serve as student leaders in community awareness.
Observations
Many students were engaged and asked relevant questions about where rabies comes from and why prolonged wound washing matters.
Question 9 (the statement regarding whether someone bitten again within 3 months of completing all anti-rabies vaccination needs only wound cleaning and no extra vaccines) was answered incorrectly by many students in the pre-test. After the presentation, students answered this item very well in the post-test, demonstrating clear conceptual correction.
The small group size helped keep disturbances low and allowed individual attention.
