Global school health policies and practices survey

GSHPPS logo

The Global school health policies and practices survey (G-SHPPS) enables countries to generate scientifically credible school-level data that describe characteristics of school health policies and practices nationwide. The G-SHPPS was developed in order to:

  • help countries develop priorities, establish programmes, and advocate for school resources for school health policies and practices;
  • establish trends in school health policies and practices;
  • allow countries, international agencies, and others to make comparisons across countries regarding school health policies and practices.
