THE SCHOOL SANITATION SOLUTIONS (TRIPLE-S) CHALLENGE 2023 Edition

ESSAY TOPIC

While several basic schools do not have access to toilet facilities, the poor maintenance of existing ones has also become a major concern. Some schools have even locked up their toilet facilities for lack of maintenance, forcing learners and staff to practice open defecation. What would you do to address the poor maintenance of toilet facilities in schools if you were the Director General of the Ghana Education Service?
