Abstract
Schools have unmatched potential to provide health services to older children and adolescents. Nowadays, in virtually every country of the world, the great majority of school-age children and adolescents (5–19 years) attend school on approximately half of the days of the year. Global net primary and secondary school enrolment rates1 have increased substantially over recent decades; by 2020, they were estimated to have reached 89% and 66%, respectively [1,2]. In countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, children and adolescents are estimated to spend an average of 7,590 hours in the classroom over the 8–10 years that they are in primary and lower secondary school [3].
