Both teachers and students, all need access to a comfortable bathroom to defecate or just wash their hands and wash their faces.

Unfortunately, not all schools or educational facilities have ideal and hygienic bathrooms. Of course, GB's friends agree that it is common to find school bathrooms in super dirty conditions and smell of urine. This unfit condition makes toilets often considered a scourge that most students avoid. Not only that, there are still many schools that do not have access to toilets at all.

"When it comes to function, don't forget about the cleanliness aspect. The school is a public area or public facility, so do not use perishable materials. If the material is damaged, it will contaminate the toilet and it will be difficult to clean," he said. “Students who use the toilet, right, also many who like to rush and do not maintain cleanliness. So if the material used is not the best, it will be easily damaged," he added.

After choosing materials that suit the student's character, it is no less important to pay attention to air circulation. Because, not infrequently the smell of urine that bursts in the school bathroom is often caused by poor sanitation. Also caused by ineffective air circulation. "If the air circulation is good, of course the bathroom will not be stuffy," he said.
