The National Policy for
an Equitable Provision
of an Enabling School
Physical Teaching and
Learning Environment,
2008, recognises the
link between inadequate
school infrastructure,
materials and basic
services and poor
rates of attendance
and school retention.
It identifies a key
objective of the Policy
as the facilitation
of equitable access
through improved
infrastructure, materials
and basic services in a
manner that responds
to the range of learning
and physical needs,
especially for students
who are at risk of
exclusion. For example,
the Policy identifies
the need for schools
to match sanitation
facilities to the needs of
different gender groups,
to match road access
