Content of this module is there to show the pupils that healthy nutrition and gaining the positive habits of personal hygiene is very important. Main health-education tasks during schooling time are for the pupils to adopt specific hygienic habits because that is the way for them to protect themselves from many diseases and to take care of their health.

Maintenance of hygiene, order and cleanliness is the basic condition and it should be fulfilled in every school building and around it. The point of this thesis is to gain new finding about promotion of health and to discover if the current hygiene sanitary conditions meet the standards that ensure proper child growth and development in school institutions. For that purpose, I use the written questionnaire which contains of 12 questions. The pattern were 33 teachers from Požeško-slavonska county and Virovitičko-podravska county. The thesis shows the research which was carried out during practice from 27th February to 26th March 2017. It is very important that schools are meeting all the hygienic conditions for pupils’ proper growth and development and only 49% of teachers think that. The cafeterias and kitchens need to be decorated in a way that pupils can adopt hygienic habits. 73% of teachers agree with the fact that the pupils adhere the basic hygienic rules like washing their hand before they eat, putting their hair in a ponytail and similar. As far as the schools bathrooms are concerned, because of the educational and hygienic reasons, in every bathroom should be enough amount of toilet paper. 43% of teachers consider that hygienic accessories like soap and tissues are not available always. At home, only small amount of pupils live by appropriate hygienic standard. School surrounding needs to represent, for the pupils, a place where they will expand their hygienic habits.
