Mark,
I agree with you about the possible role of formal NCD and cancer education in schools. A few colleagues and myself have been invited to give lectures on NCDs to year 7, 8, and 9 students. I also provide lectures on NCDs, health self management, and climate change to a primary school in Kenya. We have also supplied the portable laptop and projector for displaying the presentations.
The school provides the premises, teachers, facilities and curriculum for education. More specialised experts provide the lectures which the teachers can teach around according to their own style of teaching.
