Illness is responsible for more than 144 million lost school days per year. Absenteeism robs students of learning time. One of the challenges you face in helping kids achieve their fullest potential is keeping students ready and able to learn. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that hand hygiene is one of the most important steps in preventing illness. Yet with all of the demands of a busy school day, it isn’t easy to achieve.
GOJO has developed a proven program to encourage hand hygiene based on what we learned by immersing ourselves in the hectic world of education.
