Description The research results reveal the opinions of Czech Republic citizens on the realization of the educational content of health education in primary education. The results were obtained by means of a representative sociological research into the issue of health and healthy lifestyle. Te research was carried out in cooperation with the INRES –SONES agency towards the end of 2008. The research involved 1795 respondents aged over 15 and was representative in terms of age, gender and regional citizenship of Czech Republic citizens. The Czech public is positively in favour of teaching topics concerning health and healthy lifestyle. Most citizens prefer topics focusing on healthy diet and personal safety, however, they approve of other topics of the educational content of health education as well. The obtained findings inspire recommendations for both teaching practice as well as teacher training.
