Abstract
The study deals with searching new possibilities of developing key pupils' competencies through broad conception of education towards health, especially with leisure education. It presents results of a survey focused on certain elements of educational reality at basic schools, as well as on nature of children's and adolescents' free-time activities.
The facts confirmed the need to interconnect formal and informal ways of education in the field of healthy life style and as a part of school programs in preventing risk aspects of children's and adolescents' behavior. Education towards health can be effectively supported by proposed interdisciplinary system of leisure education in primary schools.
