Routine testing, screening and check-ups

Preschool and primary school children undergo routine testing, screening and check-ups every year.

In secondary education (general and technical), testing and screening are only carried out during routine health check-ups and medical examinations.

Routine testing, screening and check-ups include:

• measuring height and weight;
• eyesight and hearing tests;
• a urine glucose, albumin and blood test;
• a vaccination check-up.

Pupils are no longer routinely tested for tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis testing has been replaced by screening and enhanced monitoring if tuberculosis is found in a school.
