One in 10 Parents Say Children Ask to Miss School over Concerns About Toilets
- A survey of 2,000 UK parents by Parentkind found that over 10% said their children missed school due to concerns about dirty school toilets.
- The poor state of school bathrooms results from years of government underfunding, widespread building maintenance issues, and outdated facilities.
- Parents reported children witnessing cockroaches, toilets covered in feces and urine, and described the toilets as so dirty children felt like they were in 'a horror movie'.
- Jason Elsom, Parentkind chief executive, called for government spending review funds to be allocated to make school toilets 'fit for use', citing over a million children facing humiliation.
- The government has increased capital budgets by over £1 billion annually, including £2.3 billion to fix classrooms and £2.4 billion to rebuild schools, aiming to improve learning environments.
