 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
