Education in schools about nutritional value demonstrates which Ottawa Charter action area?

• A. Develop personal skills
• B. Create supportive environments
• C. Build healthy public policy
• D. Reorient health services

Answer: (A)

Education in schools about nutritional value focuses on developing personal skills by giving individuals the knowledge and practical abilities to take control of their health. The Ottawa Charter emphasizes empowering people with information and skills to make informed health choices. Teaching students to read nutrition labels, plan balanced meals, and understand portion sizes builds their capacity to apply healthier decisions in daily life. It isn’t primarily about changing the environment, policies, or health services, which would correspond to other action areas. So, the best fit is developing personal skills.
