If, as an organization, we had to choose one social determinate of health to accomplish our mission, it would be EDUCATION; and not merely years spent in a classroom, but the outcome of education: knowledge, skills, opportunity, and control over your life, facilitating gender equity and social mobility. Education is at the center of health equity. Looking backward through the life course, inequalities in education are caused, in part, by inequalities in early childhood development. Looking outwards from the individual to society, inequalities in society cause inequalities in education. Schools matter, and the quality of education received matters. Good education, in turn, leads to all the good things promised: “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Inequalities in educational outcomes affect physical and mental health, income, employment, and quality of life. The graded relationship between socioeconomic position and the educational outcome has significant implications for subsequent employment, income, living standards, behaviors, and mental and physical health.

Closer links between schools, the family, and the local community are essential steps to this achievement. The development of extended services in and around schools is important. In addition, more is needed to develop the skills of teaching and non-teaching staff to work across the home–school boundaries and develop the broader life skills of children and young people.
