[Assessment of school environment from the aspect of conditions for realization of health promotion. II].

The unsatisfactory sanitary-hygienic situation of elementary schools in Poland described in part I is discussed presenting as examples enforcing of antisanitary behaviour, bad conditions of physical environment restricting the possibility of health promotion. It is tried to explain certain determinants of these bad conditions. It was shown that reserves exist in the activities for improvement of the situation in the form of better cooperation between health service and teachers and educators for more common development of health promoting attitudes and behaviours among teachers, especially school directors, and it seems that only after achieving that stage it would be possible raising the situation in the schools (improved sanitary-hygienic conditions and health promotion among students). It is stressed also, that much should be improved in the contacts and cooperation between health service workers at various levels (e.g. mother and child care, school hygiene, health education) so that the effects of this cooperation could be discernible in its influence on educational institutions.
