This study examined the sanitation culture among senior high students. This study sampled one hundred and twenty (120) students from four different senior high schools in the Keta municipality, Ghana. A census survey was conducted to select the respondents. A questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents. It was revealed that students were involved in solid waste disposal practices; nonetheless much needs to be done so that males do not apportion blame on females as generators of more solid waste, but each will be the others keeper and ensure that their safety in school is not jeopardized because of poor sanitation. On the effects of improper solid waste disposal practices, respondents identified unclean environment, flooding, the spread of diseases, breeding mosquitoes and other rodents among others are evident results. It was recommended that the Municipal Assembly provide the necessary equipment for wastes disposal and enforce the process of waste recycling so that schools will be environmentally friendly for teaching and learning. A student ‘vigilante’ group should be formed to monitor and supervise the observance of rules and regulations on sanitation in schools within the dormitories, classrooms and school compound. The school management should package seminars and workshops to enlighten and change the psyche of students towards proper methods of waste disposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
