Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, Colleagues and Friends,
It is a great pleasure to support the “Toilets Making the Grade” school competitions in our schools. I am excited about the uniqueness of this competition, which addresses everyone at school and brings them together to work on solutions for challenges related to water, sanitation and hygiene.
With better cleanliness and hygiene in our schools, we will learn in a healthier environment, which enables to perform better! There is a direct interconnection between school attendance, health, adequate school toilets and proper handwashing. Therefore, it is so crucial to improve the sanitation and hygiene situation
of our schools.
I was so electrified about the first TMG school competition in Pakistan that took place in Baluchistan in 2018/19 under the leadership of the Department of Education. It was a great success with memorable events.
As your participation is the driver of success, I wish you good ideas and excitement during the development of your proposals and I look forward to seeing the creativity, innovativeness and teamwork in your schools.
Thank you!
Shakeela Naveed Noor Qazi
