This vicious circle of health→ wellbeing-success is based, in essence, on three fundamental

components:

1 Education,

2 Employment/occupation (advanced capabilities), and

3 Income level.

Education includes years of schooling and academic achievement throughout pry Mary,
secondary, and higher education.

Yet, it also has its roots in the example set by parents and other social symbols that become

decisive in the structuring of one’s personality.

A high level of education indicates knowledge, capacity, and the apprehension of values and norms

of behavior which enable both acquiring basic health information and obtaining critical credentials
for obtaining employment; hence, including education is important for responsible citizenship in

primary Edu cation (Nunes et al. 2015).

Variables such as the level of education, the quality of basic education, and the existence of

effective health education programs (including nutritional education, education for the prevention
of drug, tobacco, and alcohol abuse) are part of this dynamic by decisively contributing to the

sustained improvement of the health of a population.

The educational level of a population, expressed as a proportion of individuals between the ages

of 15 and 64 who completed at least compulsory schooling, has been improving globally.

However, along with this global improvement in the level of education, the high rate of illiteracy

must be mentioned; some studies suggest that only 84% of the population can read and write

(Bulk et al. 2019).
