The purpose of our study is survey on actual conditions for education scene in headache. A questionnaire survey was conducted among teaching staff in elementary and junior high school. Responses were received from 21 teaching staff (survey response rate: 95.5％) . 57.1％ of respondents had experience of being consulted about headaches. The most common measure was to have the student rest or go to the infirmary. However, there were also cases where it was difficult to deal with the situation in the educational setting, such as not knowing which hospital to go to or having trouble with learning due to headaches. In the future, it will be necessary to promote collaboration not only among headache specialists but also among a wide range of other professionals, including school doctors, teaching staff, and school nurses, in order to provide better care for children and adolescents with headaches. It is also hoped that more people will become aware of the disease.
