The magnitude of its prevalence gives schistosomiasis greatly magnified as a public health problem. This intervention proposal aimed at proposing an educational action with students, faculty and staff of a state school in Rio Espera - MG, aimed at prevention of Schistosomiasis in the city, given the high incidence of the disease in the population, indicating the need for action to combat the disease. To develop this proposal was sought in the literature studies that contributed to the study theoretical support and data sources used were LILACS, Scielo, BVS. There was wide acceptance of the proposal by students, teachers and school staff and so it is expected that there is an increasing reduction in the incidence of people affected by schistosomiasis, thus contributing to improving the health of students of the institution and the city's population Rio Espera - MG.
