Teacher Crafts ‘Open Air’ Restroom for Boys at Secondary School

Cikgu Shahrizal Sha’ari shared on Facebook an inventive boys’ restroom project at Kulai Besar Secondary School in Johor.

The unique ‘open air’ design lacks entrance doors, but each cubicle maintains a door for privacy.

This effort, previously gloomy and cramped, proves highly valuable. Male students no longer feel hesitant about using the restroom, and there are no prolonged gatherings due to the open-air design.

The teacher notes that the use of blue, white, and brown creates a spacious feel without the need for excessive decoration.

The key is a clean and comfortable environment for students’ restroom needs.

No need for excessive decor, as long as it serves its purpose. A cleaner and more confident atmosphere for restroom use. No need for wise words, no need for rules because the kids won’t read them anyway.
