HA NOI — The Ministry of Education and Training plans to introduce standard latrine designs in school across the country following the success of a pilot project in Thua Thien-Hue and Son La provinces.
The latrines were designed by architects from the ministry’s School Design and Research Institute.
The institute’s Le Thai Tuyen said the latrines would replace existing school toilets, which were often dilapidated. However, priority would be given to rural areas where the need was more urgent. “Our designs include latrines and septic tanks,” said Tuyen, adding that the addition of septic tanks made them suitable for use in remote areas that had no sewerage system.
