Sample:A total of 100 primary school children were randomly selected from three primary governmental schools.Data were collected using School Children Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire,School Workstation Assessment Checklist, School Children Ergonomics Observational Checklist andWeighing Scale. Results: This study revealed animprovement in knowledge and practice mean scores in immediate and follow up post tests compared to pre test mean scores. As well, statistically significant differences were found betweentotal knowledge and total practice scores in pre, immediate post and follow up tests. Conclusion: The educational program is effective in improving the school children's ergonomics knowledge and practice. Therefore, it is recommended to replicate the research on a large sample and in different settings to achieve more generalization.Health instructional program that encourage healthful postural habits should be part of school health education to children
