The Health Education curriculum consists of four modules: Healthy Living, Prevention of Addiction, Prevention of Violent Behavior, and Sexual/Gender Equality and Responsible Sexual Behavior. The goal of the course is to provide basic content and methodology within the mentioned modules that will enable students to be able to, in their future teaching environment, contribute to the training of students for critical judgment of life situations and their own actions for responsible decision-making, help develop tolerance, influence the development of a positive self-image, and
point out unacceptable behaviors and deviant phenomena that should not be tolerated or ignored.
