Narrative Report on Hygiene
Personal hygiene plays a major role to promote healthy life. In 2016, the Department of
Education issued DepED Order No. 10, “Policy and Guidelines on the Comprehensive Water, Sanitation,
and Hygiene in Schools (WinS) Program” for the promotion of correct hygiene and sanitation practices
among school children and a clean environment in and around schools to keep learners safe and
healthy.

WASH in Schools is a pathway to healthier schools and healthier, better performing children.
For these reasons, Unidos National High School is adapting and effectively implementing the DepEd
Wash in Schools (WinS) to improve the well-being of students and the health of the broader
community. The school is attended by almost 900 students from Junior high through Senior high
school.

Hygiene education is included in the school curriculum. Positive hygiene behaviours, including
correct use and maintenance of facilities, are systematically promoted among staff and students. Correct
use and maintenance of water and sanitation facilities is ensured through sustained hygiene promotion.
Water and sanitation facilities are used as resources for hygiene education.

Learning, hygiene and health are interlinked. Schools are where children spend most of their
time. In bad hygienic conditions, children are exposed to diseases and risk infection. There is a direct
link between diarrhoea and hygiene in schools. Children can carry infectious agents from childcare
settings and schools into the home, causing other household members to become infected.

To promote hand-washing with soap and to be effective, it must be practiced constantly every
time, such as after using the toilet or before contact with food. While habits must be developed over
time, this emphasizes the importance of hand-washing as a ritual behavior for long-term sustainability.

WASH in Schools focuses generally on diarrhoeal and worm infections. These are the two main
diseases that affect school aged children and can be drastically reduced through improved water,
sanitation and hygiene in schools.

The Unidos NHS School principal, teachers, together with the SSG officers, work hand in hand
in encouraging and promoting the appropriate and proper hygiene of students to maintain and secure
clean and healthy environment for sustainable learning.
