WHO and UNICEF released the report "Progress on Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools 2015–2025" under the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) for WASH. In 2025, 429 million school-age children worldwide lacked basic drinking water at school, 460 million lacked basic sanitation and 362 million lacked basic hygiene services. In India, 50 million school-age children had no sanitation service at all at school, though India is among 28 of 62 countries on track for universal basic drinking-water coverage by 2030. WASH supports SDG 3 (health) and SDG 6 (water and sanitation).
