Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin (pic) said the ministry will implement better toilet
designs to ensure they are conducive to students and teachers.

“There are students who only eat after they have returned home. They refused to use the
school toilets because they are dirty.

“Our toilets are always wet and students fear that they might dirty their clothes.

“Due to poor ventilation, the toilets remain wet throughout the day,” he said in a press
conference after the Fuelling Education Transformation: Safe And Conducive Infrastructure
event at Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah here on Monday (Sept 12).

Radzi said the ministry will implement better toilet designs in new schools and future
maintenance projects.

“We want the focus to be on the design with better ventilation so that toilets are cleaner and
don’t smell.

“We will take this approach seriously so that the whole school environment is very
conducive for our students,” he said.

The Fuelling Education Transformation: Safe And Conducive Infrastructure event brought
together Public Works Departments (JKR), contractors and consultants to share knowledge
on the planning and building process.
