6. Conclusions
The results of the present study showed that the educational interventions designed and implemented could effectively promote FNLIT at the elementary school level, even in a deprived community, in terms of educational and nutrition facilities. This may indicate the value and importance of teamwork as well as active and practical classroom activities. Also, the active participation of the participants and systematic, ecologically-, fact-based planning of the intervention may have affected its results. Due to the achievements of the study and as a result of advocacy made by the schools' staff, it was approved by the Health Committee of the general director of education in Baneh to include the intervention in the curriculum of all elementary schools for the coming academic year.
