This marks a quiet revolution in the concept of education: the 2005 law enshrines health education as part of the educational system’s core mission. School is no longer just a place of instruction; it is a place for acquiring “skills” so that young people can develop capabilities, including those related to their health, as Jean-Louis Michard, Inspector General of National Education, points out. In theory, the implementation of this legislation enables genuine health education in practice. In practice, it is another matter.
