Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for a more reasonable health teacher placement policy sending teachers to more appropriate sites, by analyzing the change process of the health teacher placement standards and the problems caused by an unreasonable placement policy.
Methods: This study mainly analyzed relevant research data and existing studies focusing on a literature analysis.
Results: To date, the placement policy for health teachers has changed, going through expansion, reduction, and retrogression, since its establishment. The standard, placing health teachers only in elementary schools with more than 18 classes, was created in 1952. Despite the expansion of the role of health teachers and the revision of the school health law in 2007, this standard has been applied to date without modification. In the meantime, there have been many problems caused by inappropriate placement of health teachers. It was difficult for health teachers in large schools to carry out proper health education; and, in many schools, passive health management, such as first aid, health tests, and student health management, was mainly executed rather than active health management. Students in small schools were not even given an opportunity to receive health education and health management owing to the absence of health teachers. Also, compared to teachers teaching other subjects, health teachers have had very unfair placement standards.
Conclusion: The placement policy for health teachers, which has been applied to the present, has never reflected social change, the increase of student health issues, and the demand from the school area. Although the role of health teachers expanded with the execution of health education, the current placement standards for health teachers are very unreasonable. Accordingly, it is necessary to review the health teacher placement policy in a reasonable manner and to revise the standards considering the reality.
