Abstract
Hygiene practices play a critical role in preventing communicable diseases among children and promoting overall health. School-based health education programs are widely implemented to instill proper hygiene behaviors, yet their effectiveness varies depending on content, delivery methods, and follow-up reinforcement. This study evaluates the impact of structured school-based health education on children’s hygiene practices, including handwashing, oral care, and personal cleanliness. Using a mixed-method approach, the research incorporated pre- and post-intervention surveys, observational assessments, and focus group discussions among students aged 8–12 years. The findings indicate a significant improvement in hygiene knowledge, behavior, and adherence following structured health education sessions. The study highlights the critical role of teachers and school nurses in reinforcing hygiene practices and suggests that sustained educational interventions can substantially reduce the incidence of hygiene-related illnesses among school-aged children
