The document summarizes the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools (WINS) program implemented by the Department of Education in the Philippines. It discusses key components of WINS including provision of safe water, hygiene facilities, education, and deworming. It also provides data on water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure in schools. The implications of WINS are that it establishes health standards in schools expected to reduce disease and increase attendance. Challenges to implementation include scope, increasing enrollment, funding needs, and coordination requirements.

CHALLENGES
 Implementation - considering the scope and requirements of the
program;
 Constantly increasing school population;
 Logistical and funding requirements; and
 The need for closer and more effective coordination among DepEd,
partners, LGUs, and communities
In this light, the WinS policy is essentially a guidepost which the DepEd
shall constantly strive to reach in terms of improving and increasing
water, hygiene and sanitation facilities in schools until the prescribed
standards are fully met
