Apart from knowledge, a student learns lessons of discipline, honesty and cleanliness from school and therefore, it is important for a school to maintain a hygienic atmosphere. Schools should provide hygiene education to kindergarten and early grade school children to supplement the training provided by parents and guardians, to ensure that all children learn at an appropriate age how to protect themselves and others from preventable exposure to illness and other hygienic hazards.

Children have a right to basic facilities, such as:  safe environment to secure their dignity, clean and comfortable surrounding, to motivate and concentrate on their aim, serving  healthy food,  to be physically fit and mentally strong, improved sanitation facilities and access to a safe water sources.

An unavoidable fact is; water the lifeline of human being, should be safe and handled properly. School should ensure the quality of water with covered storage and dispenser tap.

Children are more inclined to fall sick than adults. The reason being that they are in close contact with other children and easily transmitted ‘germs’. So, school should inculcate healthy habits among the kids to avoid the risk.

Thorough hand washing is the single most effective way to help prevent the spread of infections in schools . School should teach the kids how and when to wash their hands . A good handwash soap  is required for the same all time.

School should ensure the cleanliness  in the toilets on a daily basis. Also, provide facilities for students and staff to wash hands after using toilets. Successful trip to a public washroom includes using your hands as little as possible, so, motion sensors should be a welcome feature. The technology is meant to offer convenience and cleanliness.

Sensor operated taps have a huge advantage over manually operated models as they reduce water usage, only functioning when a user’s hands pass through the sensor. However, they also help to improve hygiene in the school  washroom, as users do not need to touch the tap before, or after washing their hands. School washrooms should have adequate odour control.

School environment is a critical venue for promoting and supporting healthy eating habits. Healthier options in the menu of school canteens should be introduced. There should be restriction on availability of junk food and drinks around the school premises. Schools can fix a day in the week to provide students the food of their choice. School can introduce some healthy food competitions to inculcate healthy food habits.

There is always a bunch of unruly students in every school; they often disrupt discipline and resort to bullying, often we get news of disturbing incidents that have taken place there. The instances of school and classroom violence and vandalism are unfortunate incidents, these often lead to the need of thorough probe or investigation. With the help of security cameras, justice can be achieved, by checking the series of events that unfolded on the particular day. It is needless to say how helpful these tiny cameras are.  The best way to keep an eye on them is through these security cameras where every single child can be focused on.

Parents of school going kids are often found disturbed with the rising number of incidents of classroom violence. This menace can be handled adequately when the classroom is under the pair of monitoring eyes. It is the need of the hour that every school authority should set up number of CCTV cameras in the school premises particularly in the classroom. Understanding how these prying eyes can avert undesired events will definitely serve you better.

In this super busy world, it is not possible to be present everywhere. But technology has enabled us to do so. To prevent bullying and unacceptable behaviour of the kids, CCTV is the best alternative.

The appointment of a female guard  is the need of the hour today as there are some highly sensitive and cognizant areas though away from the range of CCTV, to avoid any undesired happening.

School playgrounds are not merely a place for students to let off steam or hang out during recess. Rather, a fun, safe playground environment stimulates students’ minds and allows for their cognitive, physical, and social development. In fact, outdoor play areas provide children with rich opportunities to grow, learn, and develop. School should facilitate the kids while providing them open and safe space with adequate equipments and sports kits. For younger children and students with short attention spans, the school playground provides a much-needed break from sitting in the classroom, refreshing their minds for further learning. To support such broad learning objectives, school playground designs should ideally include areas for active play, free play, exploratory play, and quiet contemplation. For indoor games, ideal surrounding should be there with safe, sound and tested toys or equipments.

Above all, in every walk of life chances of illness or injury can never be neglected. Keeping in view the same specialized practice of medical professionals should be provided by the school in case of any mishappening. Schools being the warehouses of tomorrow’s future need to be clean and  safe in order to maintain a healthy educational environment .
