Type: dissertation
Abstract: Lifelong learning is increasingly recognized as a vital condition, as it influences both individual and community well-being by ensuring that all people have opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills. This analysis focuses on the importance of education for Kindergarten through 3rd grade in Granville County and Vance County, North Carolina. Parental education improves intergenerational health, resulting in healthier lives for both parents and children by promoting healthy behaviors, improving access to resources, and knowledge sharing across generations. A unifying theme is the integration of health and education systems to ensure that children’s developmental, physical, and emotional needs are recognized and addressed early, setting a foundation for long-term well-being. Recommendations for the Granville Vance Public Health Department (GVPH) focus on strengthening partnerships, advancing equitable education policies, and improving systems for data collection and reporting.
