COTABATO
CITY - The
Community and Family Services International (CFSI), a non-government
organization whose office is located at Rosales Street in Cotabato City,
conducted a one-day review/reorientation on the status of Water, Sanitation and
Hygiene (WASH) in School Program for the first six months.
The program was launched in
August 2017 at Sero Central School.
The reorientation, held
last February 2 at the Division
Conference Hall, was attended by 140 participants composed of school heads,
WASH focal persons, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management coordinators, and
Brigada Eskwela focal persons.
This
was aimed at ensuring compliance by schools on the policies behind the WINS
Program which include efficacy of technical assistance and performance
appraisal.
This is a joint venture of the CFSI and Department
of Education - Cotabato City in the integration of WINS in the School
Improvement Plan (SIPs), incorporation of WASH activity in the class program, and
establishment of low-cost group hand washing and tooth-brushing
facilities.
Findings
of the monitoring using the Three-Star Approach (TSA) were distributed to the
participants for review and improvement of the system. The perfect score is “3”
if all the requirements and criteria have been complied with.
Schools not able to obtain
even one star have been advised to exert more effort to meet the standards.
Almost all schools did not qualify under the TSA. (OMAIRA I. AYUNAN, TEACHER III, DATU AYUNAN ELEMEMNTARY SCHOOL - MINDANAO EXPOSE’)
