This Tuesday morning, Pierre Josué Agénor Cadet the Minister of National Education accompanied by Marie Greta Roy Clémen, the Minister of Health and several representatives of partner institutions, including the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), will hold the ceremony of Closing of the project "Certification of Friendly Schools of Hygiene" launched in April 2015 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-13672-haiti-health-the-school-hygiene-a-central-concern-of-the-ministry-of-education.html

Recall that the program "Certification of friendly schools of hygiene" carried by the School Health Department (DSS) had for objective to certify over 2 years, a minimum of 100 schools, (10 on average per department), on the point of view "water, sanitation and hygiene", in order to propose them as models at national level. These schools will first have to respect, thanks to a regular accompaniment, a certain number of criteria established in a consensual way.

Establishments certified "friends of hygiene" will receive a plaque of honor. This status will be reviewed every two or three years, after evaluation. A new sticker will then be affixed to the original plate. Other institutions will gradually be added to the list, at the level of each geographical department. This project is aimed at the maintenance of newly built, reconstructed or renovated schools.

Through this Program, the Ministry intends to :

To make known and propose as models, at the national level, the "Friendly schools of hygiene" of the ten departments of the country.
Encourage the school management, staff, students, parents and the community to ensure the maintenance of the school, with the support of the School Health Department (DSS), the concerned Directorates (DGS, DAEPP DPCE...) as well as different partners.
Encourage the regular inspection of these schools from the physical, health and educational point of view.
Encourage the establishment in these institutions of a health club made up of students and operating under the direction of the Direction and / or the School Council.
To show decision-makers and the general public that, in the current state of affairs, health is the best gateway to excellence and the quality of education..
