Abstract
Objective: It is proposed in this review to show how important it is to train teachers for basic education with the minimum notions of health, in order to guarantee the safety and the best instruction of students. Bibliographic review: Public education in Brazil has become the main means of instructing and guaranteeing new social practices in order to improve the quality of human life. Brazilian health goes through two ways when seeking to qualify its access, public and private. Both with access hampered by financial values or low service capacity. Strengthening basic health instruction at school is a way of ensuring that nursing homes are not overloaded for nothing, or that in exceptional situations, basic care can be applied. Ensuring that the teacher has basic health instructions is a way of transferring the student's security and even new knowledge about basic care. Final considerations: The study highlights the need to promote health knowledge in other fields in order to avoid overloading Brazilian healthcare facilities, in addition to ensuring security for most of the population.
