Hello Emily,
Thank you for your question. Please find below some statistic on WASH in schools.
Global data on WASH in Schools report that 49% of schools lack access to safe drinking water and 55% the schools lack access to sanitation facilities in middle and low-income countries. Due to this many girls are absent from school during menstruation and children fail to have their obtain their child rights (WASH rights);
According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) data, nearly 58 million children of primary school age were not enrolled in school in 2012 and many of them will probably never enter a classroom. Improved WASH in Schools can contribute to reduce the number of out-of-school children, increase students attendance especially girls.
Providing students with access to WASH facilities can contribute to increased attendance, increased achievement and promote equality. Existing WASH in Schools data shows that 49% of schools lack access to safe drinking water and 55% of schools lack access to sanitation facilities in middle and low income countries.
And links to more information on WASH in Schools and impact on Education.
