The lack of toilets altogether presents a bigger problem, as it compels people to relieve themselves in bushes, thereby rendering them circumstantially indistinguishable from animals.That is the plight that pupils at Kashabo Primary School in Bukoba Municipality are enduring, after its inauguration last year without the facilities. The senior government official who inaugurated the school was probably not aware of the deficiency, or perhaps was, but feels, like some, that toilets are not a priority issue but of secondary importance. That wouldn’t be surprising, for, the education ministry endorses the establishment of all schools, to which, moreover, inspectors pay, or are supposed to pay regular visits.The situation must be rectified fast, for that situation exposes pupils to diseases, de-motivates them, and compromises their classroom competence. Plus, it features them in a comic show of being taught the importance of hygiene, while they are schooling in an unhygienic environment.Ideally, they should not only be beneficiaries of a sound hygienic environment, but advocates of high hygienic standards in the broader society.
