Hereupon the complexity in planning and realization of annual programme plans regarding health and social protection of citizens realized at a local level by the Municipality of Karposh. Through the annual programme activities, the local self-government plans and promotes healthy generations that will acquire healthy eating habits and creates, i.e. provides normal psychosocial development throughout their lives. In order to contribute in this area, the Municipality of Karposh established the Department for Child, Social and Health Care. The way of work and the activities of this Department are prevention, monitoring field conditions for each issue and timely resolution of problems in accordance with the competences of the local self-government and the legislative of the Republic of Macedonia. Of particular importance is the cooperation of the Municipality with other state institutions, the non-governmental sector and the international organizations through which it exchanges knowledge and experiences. From that aspect, the Municipality of Karposh creates programme activities regarding health and social policy of children, equally including children from persons/families at social risk. A number of activities aimed at the non-institutional forms of social protection of the vulnerable groups affected by the effects of poverty and social exclusion and activities for promotion of education are realized. The activities aimed at these target groups include all children from the earliest age, and in some urban communities where the Roma or Albanian population is dominant, special attention is paid to social inclusion and preventive health care of children of these ethnicities. The public awareness of health care of the population is being raised from every aspect through professional workshops, announcements, professional presentations and trainings and other forms of education. These activities are usually conducted by social and health workers and predagogists from the Department for Child, Social and Health Protection and the NGO sector, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy and international educational centres such as the “Montessori” Centre. The Municipality of Karposh does not forget its “third age” citizens. Through cultural and entertaining programmes, the youngest assemble and entertain the guardians of retirement homes, “Humane patrols” active on field are organized that help in the daily life of fragile, old and ill persons that are unable to leave their homes. Through its programme activities, the Department for Child, Social and Health Care in the Municipality of Karposh encompasses all groups of citizens on the territory of the local self-government, regardless of their sex, gender, age or ethnicity.

Abstract/Notes: We examined whether kindergarten teachers' ratings of children’s prosocial skills, an indicator of noncognitive ability at school entry, predict key adolescent and adult outcomes. Our goal was to determine unique associations over and above other important child, family, and contextual characteristics.Methods. Data came from the Fast Track study of low–socioeconomic status neighborhoods in 3 cities and 1 rural setting. We assessed associations between measured outcomes in kindergarten and outcomes 13 to 19 years later (1991–2000). Models included numerous control variables representing characteristics of the child, family, and context, enabling us to explore the unique contributions among predictors.Results. We found statistically significant associations between measured social-emotional skills in kindergarten and key young adult outcomes across multiple domains of education, employment, criminal activity, substance use, and mental health.Conclusions. A kindergarten measure of social-emotional skills may be useful for assessing whether children are at risk for deficits in noncognitive skills later in life and, thus, help identify those in need of early intervention. These results demonstrate the relevance of noncognitive skills in development for personal and public health outcomes.

Abstract/Notes: A political-economic system change took place in Hungary in 1989/90, which change also brought new ideas to the pedagogy. This had intellectual antecedents, however, for its practical realization, the dissolution of the socialist school system, the temporary "ex lex" state, which allowed reform pedagogic schools to enter. In my study, I examine the health pedagogic principles and practice of two schools of thought, which, despite their practicality, modernity, and capacity for renewal, have not spread in Hungary, even though they would have a place in the Hungarian institutional system in terms of health awareness. The technical literature reflects the spirit of the optimistic 1990s even in the publications that appeared in the 2000s.
