process. Students spend more than six hours a day in classes and school related activities. Therefore teachers and
schools are important source of information for children. Schools do play key part in transmitting knowledge and
skills to the children. Children in school through curricular and extra- curricular activities imbibe various principles
of life. As schools are regarded an important agency of socialization they educate children for adult life. Certain
habits are acquired by children at schools which do influence their personality. In the development or incarnation of
attitudes and aptitudes physical and social environment do play central role in the life of a child.
After the child's home, school represents the second most in? uential environment in a child's life.
Environment which can be broadly categorized into 'natural' environment and 'socio-cultural', environment
determines the interaction pattern of individuals. The environment a child is surrounded with at school has wide
ranging implication on her/ his outlook. A child at school is involved in the process of learning. In this process he/she
systematically explores his/her surroundings. He/ She develop certain habits and behavior which are directly
having bearing on the health or health awareness of a child.
Education is considered as a magic wand for many social maladies. It has been argued that schooling
produces citizens which are not only armed with skills of three R's but aware and conscious of their health.
However, this paper argues that physical and social environment prevalent in schools in Kashmir does not instill
health and environment awareness among children. The physical and social environment prevailing in schools of
Kashmir is apart from the environment required for the healthy and conscious beings . Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Fayaz Ahmad Bhat, (2013).
