Grupo Eulen Sees Clean Schools Crucial to Learn

MIAMI -- Keeping a clean and well-maintained school environment is not only a Covid thing. Now that Covid cases are on the rise again, with the flu and RSV making a return, it´s clear that preserving our schools’ cleanliness plays a crucial role in promoting health, safety, and well-being of students, teachers, and staff.
 
Grupo EULEN, a facility services provider, says there are other critical reasons why having a
hygienic educational setting is vital; among the more relevant are the reduction of absenteeism
and its positive impact on academic performance and mental health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children in the United States
miss millions of school days each year due to illness; furthermore, they state that students lose
nearly 22 million school days annually due to the common cold and 38 million days due to influenza.

“Proper sanitization and cleaning of school facilities can significantly reduce the transmission of
infectious diseases like flu, colds, and gastrointestinal infections,” said Danna Hewick, vice
president of growth EULEN Group.

An American Journal of Infection Control study found that
schools implementing a cleaning routine witnessed a 50% decrease in absenteeism rates among
students and staff.

A clean and organized learning environment positively influences students' academic
performance. A clutter-free and clean space allows students to focus better, leading to improved
cognitive abilities and learning outcomes. Researchers from the Journal of School Health found
that well-maintained classrooms were associated with higher test scores and increased student
engagement.

“A sick child cannot learn, and an ill teacher cannot teach; the importance of keeping
schools clean cannot be overstated. Well-maintained and clean educational premises create a
more effective learning and teaching environment,” Hewick said.

Studies in the Journal of Environmental Psychology suggest that a visually appealing space can reduce stress levels and enhance students' well-being, leading to a happier and more focused learning experience.

As we strive for educational excellence and mental health improvement, let us remember that
building a sustainable cleaning practice is an essential step in creating a conducive learning
environment; and that a clean school is not just a necessity but an investment in our children's
future.
