This work is a reflection of the search for a definition of current guidelines for outlining studies on the assistance to the child's and school-age adolescent's health based on current literature and on the discussion among professionals in the fields of Health and Education. The guidelines: Assistance to the child's and school-age adolescent's health; Education, Health and Society - current historical transformation; Health, Education and Life Conditions lead to the following questions: how to promote the child's and school-age adolescent's health within the principles of the Unified Health System (SUS) and how to deal with issues such as Health and Education in an inter-sectorial, multi-professional and interdisciplinary fashion by taking into account the New National Curricular Standards? In the conclusion, actions are proposed to eradicate the idea that students are at fault in relation to school failure as well as to change the vision based on current concepts and standings by considering all the changes that have taken place in the field of education with the new Law of Bases and Directives and the recent introduction and application of the New National Curricular Standards.
