Health and Sanitation are interrelated with Education. School hygiene education aims to improve behaviour by teaching appropriate hygiene practices, and thus it is an urgent need. The government of India and UNICEF have identified school sanitation as a key area of collaboration. School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE) is globally recognized as a key intervention to promote children’s right to health and a clean environment. A focus on school sanitation stems from the fact that children have a right to basic facilities such as school toilets, safe drinking water, clean surroundings, and information on hygiene. In the urban regions, there is a growing disparity between the number of students on campus and the corresponding sanitation on facilities available has raised health concerns. The National Education Policy (NEP, 2020), the government hopes to transform India into a “global knowledge superpower,” but this can only be accomplished by improving the flexibility, holistic nature, and multidisciplinary nature of the education system for schools and colleges, which will highlight each student's talents. Preschool education, disabilities, access to a bathroom, and menstrual hygiene practices are some of the new topics covered in NFHS-5. Unfortunately, there is also a great deal of ambiguity on whose responsibility it is to ensure functional toilets with adequate water facilities in schools. At present, there is no provision in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) for the cleaning of toilets. In addition to adequate funding for cleaning, sanitation training, and toilet maintenance, the issue of accountability must be addressed. Otherwise, we will keep returning to the fundamental issues, reformulating strategies, and recommissioning funds. Moreover, the implementation of government programmes still has flaws.
