Hygiene experts have been saying that school toilets in the UK must be improved, or we could see a further rise in the number of children and staff absent because of illness through the ever more increasing spread of germs and viruses. School classroom sizes have noticeably increased over the years, schools have more children, more staff, all of which adds to the need for better hygiene control.
Environments across the board pose high threats of cross contamination, and educational environments rank high on this list, purely due to the amount of people who are on site. Sustaining clean hygienic environments in schools can prove a difficult task but studies have shown that cleanliness has significant impact on the overall health, happiness and performance of children, staff and visitors
With most school budgets, seemingly always at breaking point, and as many as 72% of school leaders saying their budgets will be ‘unsustainable’ by 2019, the education sector needs to be doing everything it can to make the money go further.
