This study looked into ways to boost students’ academic interest and involvement in health education. It was designed using survey methods. Two research questions and two hypotheses were explored to achieve the research goal. The study’s population included thirty (30) government secondary school health education teachers and sixteen (16) private secondary school health education teachers in Anambra State’s Ogidi Education Zone, with no sampling done due to the study’s manageable size. Data were collected using a standardized 20-item questionnaire that was thoroughly verified by two experts. For the research questions, mean scores and standard deviation were used, and for the hypotheses, a t-test was used.
