The QEF Thematic Network (QTN) on Parent Education: Healthy Start Home Visit Program was established in the 2014/15 school year with the aim at developing teachers and parents the skills and knowledge of how to inculcate into their children healthy life styles in respect of physical, cognitive and psychosocial aspects. Under the QTN, trained Parent Assistants would conduct home visits to provide support to the underprivileged families.
