Hygiene sessions for Parents and Teachers Associations (PTAs)

2014.10.16

After summer holiday at the onset of the academic year, JEN’s hygiene promotion team and trained teachers have conducted dedicated sessions for students’ parents.

Educating PTAs is important because of providing appropriate hygiene environment at home where it directly affects the students’ health and well-being.

Principals and teachers called and/ sent invitation mails to parents. Also, JEN’s hygiene promoters distributed invitations to students so that many parents and neighbours would be able to participate in every session. Unexpectedly, the attendance rate was high which emphasized the importance of involving parents in projects related to schools.

Not only mothers who most pay attention for students but also fathers and neighbours who participated in cleaning mosques in the neighbourhood have also joined the PTA sessions.

JEN’s hygiene promoters and PTAs focused on the issue of breakfast. JEN hygiene promoters strongly emphasized that children should eat healthy breakfast. This is because some children come to schools without eating breakfast and then they would be compelled to eat unhealthy food bought from unlicensed vendors.

JEN hygiene promotion team and trained teachers will continuously conduct hygiene session and discuss with PTAs or relatives to protect children’s health.
