Discussion
.........................resulted in the inclusion of Health check-up in schools.
Answer: A
Health check-ups in schools resulted from the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995.
The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 placed a duty on governments to prevent and detect disabilities early. Among the measures in its chapter on prevention and early detection is the screening of all children at least once a year to identify those at risk, which brought regular health check-ups into schools.
The Rehabilitation Council of India Act, 1992 regulates the training of rehabilitation professionals. The Juvenile Justice Act, 1986 dealt with neglected and delinquent juveniles. A reformatory schools law concerns the detention of young offenders. None of them provided for health check-ups in schools.
