Summary/Abstract: Health education at school contributes to the future quality of life – and the author here analyses it within an organisational framework. School, as a fundamental institution in the socialisation process, plays a key role in the health education process. However, prevailing approaches for training into a healthy lifestyle have not, to date, led to sustained improvements in health behaviour. This article presents the key elements and characteristics of the new approach. Sustained and wide-ranging health education is designed for the long-term, as a continuing process – and it is embedded in an organisational and school development framework. Mental health, as a component of school development, needs as a requirement the active co-operation of the entire teaching staff, students and also parents. Given this, school can change the daily routine of students and it can also enable them to be more satisfied and happier in their lives. The author wants to emphasize that a person’s happy years in life are based on one’s happy school years.
