Healthy Harold impact and outcomes:
Ministry of Education research identified 86% of schools use our Healthy Harold programme. We support schools to meet the unique needs of their children as part of the school’s teaching plan. Schools seek specialist support to get the very best outcomes to meet the needs of their children.
Teachers are asked to provide their feedback after their lessons with Life Education. This continuous evaluation process measures the quality of our teaching and how we meet teacher’s and children’s learning needs. This is managed independently through Research NZ.
