PROMOTING WELL-BEING THROUGH PERSONAL HYGIENE: A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER APPROACH FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The purpose of this research article is to emphasize the role that individual hygiene plays in enhancing the level of student wellness within institutions of learning. It highlights a multiple- participant stance including educators, parents, school workers, and learners’ selves. This paper strives to demonstrate, via a detailed review of the literature, how students' immune systems and stamina are regulated by the effectiveness of hygienic practices. Even academic performance is greatly influenced by the universal application of hygienic behaviors. In addition, students' self-esteem also receives a boost from these habits. By partnering with all the stakeholders, schools will be able to implement the hygiene education in the curriculum, organize training schools for teachers, establish the channel of dialogue between parents and schools, and ensure the access to the hygiene facilities and resources for students. The article also acknowledges potential challenges such as resource limitations and cultural sensitivities, offering recommendations for innovative approaches and further research in this field. By adopting a multi-stakeholder approach, educational institutions can create supportive environments that enhance overall student well-being and academic success.
