Good hygiene supports effective learning in several ways:
- Health and Attendance:
Poor hygiene leads to illness (like diarrhea, flu, or skin infections).
Sick children miss school, which affects learning.
Healthy students can attend regularly and focus better.
- Focus and Comfort:
A clean environment helps students feel safe and concentrate.
Dirty classrooms or restrooms cause distraction, discomfort, or even embarrassment.
- Confidence and Social Well-being:
Good personal hygiene boosts a student’s confidence.
Poor hygiene might lead to teasing or bullying, which affects mental health and school performance.
- Habits and Lifelong Learning:
Teaching hygiene in schools instills lifelong habits.
Students also become hygiene ambassadors at home and in the community.
