Schools, as extensive platforms, play a crucial role in disseminating health information to students, families, and the community. School health, as a development indicator, plays a decisive role in enhancing teachers’ performance, students’ academic progress, and improving community health. Since the 1980s, following the rise of discussions on public health promotion, school health has emerged as one of the most critical areas for achieving public health enhancement. The necessity of establishing school health organizations stems from the fact that learners constitute a significant portion of the country’s population and, as a vulnerable group, are at risk of infectious diseases. Therefore, attention to ensuring health and maintaining community well-being is essential. Despite numerous studies in this field, there is no documented research on management strategies and how to address the challenges and issues of school health from a historical perspective. The aim of this article is to examine the state of school health and analyze management strategies in this area during the years 1925 to the 1970s. This research is compiled using documentary methods and relies on inspectors’ reports and educational guidelines. The findings of this study indicate that school health officials during the period under study faced challenges such as the spread of infectious diseases, lack of health equipment, shortage of specialized personnel, and the absence of necessary standards in educational spaces. To address these challenges, the officials adopted supervisory strategies, inspected schools and educational institutions, and identified harmful factors to improve the quality of health services.
