This manual for the assessment of water, sanitation and hygiene in schools (WASH in Schools) by using the Three Star Approach was developed by the General Education Department and the Early Childhood Education Department of the Ministry of Education and Sports in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and supported by development partners, including GIZ, UNICEF, Plan International, World Vision, and other international agencies.

The manual defines required standards and indicators for WASH in Schools, which include 6 categories, 26 indicators, and 52 checklist items which can act as guidelines for the school, for the District Education and Sports Bureau (DESB) and for the Provincial Education and Sports Services Department (PESS), as well as supporting the national level of the Ministry of Education and Sports with monitoring, encouraging, and evaluating the implementation and improvement of WASH in Schools.
