Should hygiene be a compulsory subject in schools?
Yes, I think that hygiene should be a compulsory subject in schools.Students are the future of this world.When students would be taught what is hygiene? how is hygiene related to diseases? and how can we maintain hygiene around us?they can make their country a green and a clean nation to live.
Hygiene is a condition conducive to maintain health, prevent disease, especially through cleanliness.We can maintain hygiene by not only placing dustbins but also by using and telling others about it.Human excreta has been implicated in the transmission of many infectious diseases.Undernutrition, poor sanitation and hygiene results in reduced physical growth, weakened physical fitness and impaired cognitive function, particularly for children.
When students would be aware of all the questions mentioned above, they can make their country clean and green by maintaining cleanliness and making other people aware of hygiene.They can go to people’s houses and tell them about cleanliness. Then by conducting awareness campaigns they can make other people aware of hygiene, especially those who are poor and are illiterate or simply they can join such clubs in their school or NGOs.But first we need to take a step starting from ourself, second our house, third, our neighbourhood, next our surrounding area, then our city, after then our country and finally our Earth.We can maintain ourself hygienic by adapting some personal hygienic habits.
And if students are not aware of hygiene, their surroundings and personal hygiene habits, then they are more prone to illness and may not concentrate on their studies, which further may stop or may result in being a wall in the development of the country.
Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live.
