Abstract
The present society requires the individuals to have the ability to adapt to changes, as an instrument to achieve the full integration of all of its members. Problems related to health care, both individual and collective, are considered as an essential aspect in the set of social values. Thus, the value attributed to health and wellbeing is a relevant aspect in that set of social values. It can be stated that health education should be a guiding principle in the integral education of the person. In this sense, educational institutions should act as providing basic resources which allow individuals their full development, without forgetting health care and promotion through the development of educational programmes in the field of health. This research shows the design of an instrument for assessing the teachers’ degree of knowledge as regards school health and their attitude and predisposition to learn to solve situations related to health problems in the school context.

When health is considered as the absence of illness and as a complete physical, mental and social wellbeing (Organización Mundial de la Salud, 1948), we can state that the achievement of positive educational results, considered as a whole, is closely related to the achievement of optimal health levels in the educational community. As regards this reality, those schools, which incorporate health promotion as an integral component in their educational approach, are establishing the bases which let them get both educational objectives with academic character and objectives centred on the integral development of the student.
