| Summary: | This policy note examines a rapid
situation analysis of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH)
facilities in Indonesian schools using quantitative and
qualitative data, including a review of relevant
regulations. It discusses policy implications related to the
COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic response and its
implications for achieving universal access to basic WASH
facilities in schools by 2030, under the Sustainable
Development Goals. It is found that 8 percent of MoECRT
schools and 20 percent of MoRA primary schools have no
functional toilets for students. The average number of
toilets, 58 students to 1 toilet in primary schools, is not
up to the international standards of 25:1 ratio. Twenty-two
percent of MoECRT schools have no access to water and 47
percent reported no soap nor running water. The policy note
also identifies 4 areas of policy gaps and corresponding
recommendations to respond to the current situation and its causes. |
