Future plans
The First Stage: Some of the first classes created in 35 schools per year will function as HEC. As it is impossible to pilot all the schools due to high density of pupils and other objective reasons, traditional classes are functioning in parallel with the pilot HE classes in 34 schools.
The Second Stage: Improvement of legislative documents for application of Healthy Education technologies on a larger scale
The Third Stage: Transferring schools where healthy education classes are functioning to HE-schools covering I-XI classes gradually. This process will also be applied by stages: Firstly, primary, then general medium, further full secondary stages. Formation of mega-school covering 0-21 ages.
The Forth Stage: Opening of HE-schools and HE-classes in the regions and their extension according to the plan;
The Fifth Stage: Creation of HE-School network covering all the cities and regions of the republic;
The Sixth Stage: Determination of specialties required for teaching Healthy Education Technologies and formation of departments in secondary schools and higher educational institutions.
The Seventh Stage: Creation of healthy environment and learning atmosphere in secondary schools and higher educational institutions;
Exchanging the experience obtained at all stages with the experiences of other countries.
