Abstract

The present study aims to reveal the role played by school curricula – including textbooks and instructional materials – in spreading awareness and health education, particularly nutritional awareness during the schooling stage among learners. This topic is fundamentally related to the extent of the individual’s understanding of the concept of health awareness and their contribution to it. The study also seeks to highlight the necessity of linking this awareness to the nutritional aspect due to its effective role in the individual’s psychological, mental, and physical health, across different developmental stages and the learner’s gender.
