5Lecture about First Aid in the school

UENO Marie

On the second day of 9th training, lecture was about First Aid. We
already learned basic knowledge about first aid on 7th training.
Therefore, all lecturers conducted hands-on training.
First aid is necessary in various way such as to save one’s life, let
the injuries heal quickly and mitigate the pain. However, sinceteachers are not medical workers teachers can not apply medical
treatment including giving the medicine for students. Teachers
need to call parents to take their children to health center ifnecessary.
In order to practice PRICE treatment (Protection, Rest, Ice,Compression, Elevation), we used materials that we can get easily
even in rural area such as cardboard, plastic bag and Krorma. It issometimes difficult to get medical supplies for first aid, but there
are a lot of materials that can be a substitute. It is important skills
for teachers to think out the solution when there is a lack of
medical supplies.

Development of a teacher's guidebook for School
Health for All Cambodian Children.

ASAKURA TakashiIt takes a long time to teach or learn the essentials of school health.
It is important to continue learning throughout a lifetime.
What is easily learned is easily forgotten.
A good teacher is a teacher who keeps learning.
In response to requests from TEC, we have developed a teacher's guidebook forschool health textbooks. An outline has already been introduced in the 9th school
health training.
The TEC management asked us to clarify what to teach in each class time because
the chapters in the school health textbooks are voluminous. We received a widerange of requests, such as for teaching materials and video materials. Even
though we cannot completely respond to all of them, we believe that this issomething that should be developed with the TEC instructors in charge over thecoming years.
The guidebook explains what school health aims to achieve, its relationship to
the goals of TEC, key points for improving teaching, how to teach each chapter,skills to use in the lesson, and key points for Project-Based Learning. To all TEC
lecturers, let's work together to improve both the school health textbook and theteacher's guidebook.
We hope that you will read the guidebook carefully and use it.

6Participation in “Health education workshop”

MASUKO Yuuka

On 2nd November, SHCC participated in Health education workshops organized by Education Support
Center KIZUNA. KIZUNA is an international NGO which support education area in Cambodia including
Health education support to Lower Secondary schools of remote area in Koh Kong province. SHCC andKIZUNA sometimes collaborate in activities about Health education because SHCC support pre-service
in TEC and KIZUNA support in-service in Lower secondary school. We should note that both projects
are supported by The Nippon Foundation.

1. “Kamishibai” workshop by KIZUNA“Kamishibai” is a Japanese traditional picture story show for Children. It was popular before theadvent of television. Kamishibai is enjoyable by eyes and ears, and as it does not require electricity, it
can be shown anywhere even in remote area. Nowadays, KIZUNA applies “Kamishibai” for Healtheducation in Lower Secondary school in Koh Kong province as a teaching material.
The advantage of using ”Kamishibai” is that children as wellas teachers can acquire knowledge. It is a teaching material
that can be used in the classroom without prior knowledge
of Health education. It can be called “teaching and learningmaterial”

“Sugoroku” together. “Sugoroku” is a Japanese traditional board game. Social Compass created a”Sugoroku” which we can learn SDGs with playing it.
