Hygiene in Schools: Basis for Child Cognitive Development

Cleanliness in educational settings goes far beyond appearance. Recent studies indicate that professional hygiene is determinant
in the cognitive development of children, directly influencing school attendance, physical health and academic performance

According to ISSA – The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, 1 in 4 children miss classes due to preventable diseases,
many of which are associated with the lack of proper hygiene of school environments

Clean environment favors learning 

Organized, clean and disinfected school environments favor student focus and engagement. According to a systematic review
published in ResearchGate, children exposed to clean schools have better cognitive performance, greater ability to concentrate,
and less absenteeism.

These data reinforce the importance of a technical and continuous approach to hygiene in the school environment, especially i n the
early stages of child development, when the brain is in full formation.

Big Numbers: the direct impact of hygiene on education 

The Value of Clean Report (ISSA, 2023) provides relevant data for educational institutions and school managers:

???? Up to 62% reduction in school absences with continuous professional hygiene programs
???? Up to 20% increase in school performance in clean, well-tended and safe environments

These indicators reveal that skilled cleaning is a concrete strategy to improve academic achievement and children’s health.

Hygiene is more than cleanliness: it’s health and performance
