Abstract | These guidelines deal specifically with water, sanitation and hygiene, and are designed to be used in schools in low-cost settings in low- and medium-resource where simple and affordable measures can significantly improve hygiene and health. They offer a basis for creating the minimum conditions required for providing schooling in a healthy environment for schoolchildren, teachers and other staff. The guidelines deal specifically with water supply, water quality, water quantity and access to water, hygiene promotion, sanitation (quality and access), control of vector-borne disease, cleaning and waste disposal, and food storage and preparation. |
