to finish
schooling
 positive attitudes and behavior
 improved physical and emotional health
 improved quality of life and
 better prospects for a productive future.

Comprehensive Policy : The holistic approach to hygiene

and sanitation fills the policy gaps, provides guidelines, and
gives equal attention to other key health program areas

IMPLICATIONS OF WASH IN SCHOOL
POLICY

• Measures for Effective Implementation:

– Use of current DepEd Structure

– School Based Management (SBM)
– Develop efficient M&E System through
Three Star Approach
– Continuous Improvement

 IMPLICATIONS OF WINS

 By addressing the hygiene and sanitation concerns affecting learners,

the program will contribute significantly to easing the plight of poor
communities which are most vulnerable to preventable diseases due
to the lack of access to correct hygiene and sanitation information,
clean water supply, and adequate hygiene and sanitation facilities.

 Provides for safe drinking and clean water in schools which is

crucial to the effective implementation of key WinS program
areas.

 Focus on proper handwashing ensures that the practice is

understood as important in order to avoid disease and
infections. It also seeks to develop handwashing as a lifelong
habit among learners

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 15
 IMPLICATIONS OF WINS

 Focus on oral hygiene through daily tooth brushing in school in

combination with education on oral health will lead to lower incidence of
dental caries and other dental problems among learners and enhance their
general health status.

 The program links the provision of toilets to hygiene and sanitation, instead
of such facilities being merely a physical aspect of school buildings, thus
ensuring access to functional toilets

 Inclusion of menstrual hygiene management – which is part of adolescent

girls’ reproductive health concerns – affirms the right to health and
education of girl children, empowers them, and promotes gender equality.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 16
 IMPLICATIONS OF WINS

 Continued deworming of students every six months will bring down cases
of helminthic infections among children.

 Strengthened promotion of and correct attitude and practices in food

preparation and management will ensure food safety in schools.

 Proper waste disposal and the improvement of waste disposal systems, and
the elimination of mosquito breeding grounds prevent vector-borne and other
diseases. It will show schoolchildren the link between environmental
sanitation and their personal health and encourage them to adopt positive
practices in this regard.

 Capacitating program implementers will ensure proper implementation of

WinS and promote correct knowledge on hygiene and sanitation as well as
the relevant positive attitudes and behavior in the workplace.

 CHALLENGES

 Implementation - considering the scope and requirements of the

program;
 Constantly increasing school population;
 Logistical and funding requirements; and
 The need for closer and more effective coordination among DepEd,
partners, LGUs, and communities

In this light, the WinS policy is essentially a guidepost which the DepEd
shall constantly strive to reach in terms of improving and increasing
water, hygiene and sanitation facilities in schools until the prescribed
standards are fully met
