Abstract
Introduction: Schools play a crucial role in shaping healthy behaviors; therefore, environmental sanitation must meet specific standards, including access to clean water, proper toilets, effective waste disposal, designated trash bins, and handwashing facilities. School canteens also contribute to student health by providing hygienic food. Inadequate sanitation increases the risk of disease. Objective: To describe the sanitation facilities at the Bawakaraeng Elementary School Complex in Makassar. Method: A qualitative study with a descriptive design, involving direct observation of sanitation facilities. Results: Sanitation facilities in the Bawakaraeng Elementary School Complex do not meet the required standards. SD Bawakaraeng 2 has the highest level of compliance, followed by SD INPRES, SD Bawakaraeng 3, and SD Bawakaraeng 1, which has the lowest level of compliance. Handwashing facilities (CTPS) and liquid waste management meet the standards. Conclusion: School sanitation in the Puskesmas Bara-Baraya area remains inadequate, particularly in toilets, waste disposal, and drainage systems. Raising awareness among the community and schools is crucial to ensuring proper sanitation and enhancing the health of students and staff.
