| dc.description.abstract | SDGs aim at a universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and inclusive and effective learning environments for all. With this intention, a comparative study was made between two public and two private schools in two woredas in Kirkos sub-city, Addis Ababa. The problem was raised as schoolchildren lack access to adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities. An objective was set to study the water, sanitation and hygiene facility with a comparison of private and public schools. A checklist based WASH evaluation was made during study visits in the selected schools. A total of randomly-selected 298 schoolchildren were interviewed using a structured questionnaire on their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in their respective schools. The responses were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used for comparison and testing hypotheses for the difference of means. Result showed that problems of inadequacy and unavailability of drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities are highly observed inside public schools. The one taking the front was found to be inadequate of drinking water in the school and others like toilet and handwashing facilities reveled. The menstrual management of all schools was found to be poor because of running water shortage inside the toilet which makes it difficult to have safe cleaning of menses. Generally, a comparative analysis was made effective on the variables concerning drinking water facility, handwashing facility, toilet facility, menstrual management, solid waste disposal, adequacy, quality and availability of WASH facility, and education and training towards WASH program among public and private schools. Investment to improve WASH facilities in public schools and education and training in WASH activities in all schools is recommended. | en_US |
