Schools in Japan usually have teachers called "Yogo Kyoyu”, who are responsible for health and hygiene of students. They are stationed in the school healthcare room and taking care of physical and mental health of the students. They do also look after first aid for injuries and illnesses, health checkups, and health observation of students. The teacher for healthcare does not usually teach classes but does provide health education and guidance in cooperation with homeroom teachers. This is because they are experts in the field of health and have a good understanding of the health of infant, children, and students in daily basis, so it should make a significant impact on student.
