Paragraph
Paragraph text
A number of States have regulations outlining the necessary infrastructure for schools. In India, for instance, according to the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, schools must have an all-weather building, with separate toilets for boys and girls, along with a kitchen, clean water for drinking and a playground with a secure boundary wall. In South Africa, the Government has developed a School Infrastructure Performance Indicator System along with norms and quality interventions required to support an equitable, modern, high-quality education system to help track progress and identify intervention requirements.
