The main criteria for assessing the level of sanitation include:

Availability of latrines and toilets: Educational institutions must provide an adequate number of latrines and toilets for students and staff.

Type of toilets: Improved toilets meet standards of hygiene and comfort, while unimproved toilets may be unusable without hygienic standards.

Separation: Having separate toilets for men and women, girls and boys is important to ensure privacy and comfort.

Optimal: The recommendations for the number of toilets per number of students should be followed. In accordance with WHO recommendations, for preschools, it is recommended to have one improved toilet for 25 children, for primary and secondary educational institutions, it is recommended to have one improved toilet for 30-50 students. For staff, one improved toilet for 20 people.

In addition, starting in 2023, the presence of a toilet accessible to people with disabilities is also taken into account. This includes specially equipped restrooms with facilities that allow people with disabilities to use them on their own.

The level of hygiene includes factors such as basic hand hygiene, the availability of hand-stands, and the availability of water and soap, with hand-stands recommended to be placed no further than 10 meters from the latrine. Educational institutions should provide opportunities for regular handwashing by students and staff. Wash-stands with soap and water should be available in convenient locations to promote good hygiene.
