INTRODUCTION:
Children need a physical and social environment that
supports their growth and development. School-age
children spend a significant part of their day in
school, often beyond the hours of the regular school
day. The quality of the school environment influences
their development academically, socially and physically.
Their school experiences are a major factor in their
social integration and self-esteem throughout life. |
