Abstract

A good relationship between health services and education is essential for the well-being of students, within the Unified Health System (SUS), those responsible for establishing effective communication with education are Primary Health Care (PHC) . This, with its Family Health Strategy (ESF) teams, are located within the territory where the school is located, having the opportunity to carry out actions together with the school and maintain a constant dialogue. Therefore, in this research, we observed a large number of referrals received by the ESF, from schools in the territory, especially from the initial grades. Therefore, the intervention research aimed to understand how the school demands of students in the schooling process are defined, based on the perception of educators/pedagogues from a municipal school. The intervention research had a qualitative approach, where a semi-structured interview was carried out with the educators and a sociodemographic questionnaire was used to characterize the population. Furthermore, the research included a focus group that was held in two meetings with research participants and as feedback, an online booklet was created and delivered to them. As results, four analytical categories were found, namely: Educators’ routine and feelings aroused; Relationship between family and school; Relationship between health and school; The COVID-19 Pandemic and its effects on education.
