Roughly 89 percent of schools in Tanzania had access to improved sanitation facilities in 2018. Nearly 11 percent used unimproved facilities, such as pit latrines without a slab or platform, hanging latrines, and bucket latrines. Less than one percent of schools had no toilet facilities, what could have been just a temporary situation, as the governmental policies state that a school cannot be established without a toilet.
