Abstract:

The School Health Program is a Brazilian intersectoral policy and resultspartnership between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, in order to expand health actions to students of the public schools, for the purpose of integral education of students of Basic Education. This qualitative study was carried out in 2016 and had the objective of investigating the Brazilian schoolchildren’s perception about the activities developed by the School Health Program. The data collection was carried out with schoolchildreneleven to fourteen years old and, as instrument of data collection, was used the written report (essay). From the analysis of the reports, two themes were identified: 1. The School Health Program as care, and 2. The School Health Program as benesse?. For some, the activities mean the possibility of health care, to identify the problems and to direct the solutions, to have the possibility of having information and some learning that can be beneficial in the maintenance of health. However, an offer received passively. For others a blessing, a favor, to which they show their gratitude. The schoolchildren were passive and receptive without, however, the protagonism necessary to the production of their own health. Co-responsibility seems to be a seed still germinating.
