The Oxford Roundtable Statement

Year of publication: 2005

The children who participated in the Oxford Roundtable in January 2005 also contributed their points to the package for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Educations for Schools. Their "minimum package" should include:

• child participation from the beginning, design stages;
• strong advocacy budget, public recognition and leadership opportunities;
• involvement of young people in monitoring processes;
• water, sanitation and hygiene education for schools is not a technical issue - it is part of the world of students' social lives at school and needs to be recognised for linkages to child protection and child rights.
