The purpose of this study is to summarize existing research and provide an overview of
hygiene education in Bangladesh. Papers with the title “Bangladesh, Hygiene Education”
were collected over a five-year period from 2021 to 2025. Seven papers focused on
hygiene education. Four of these papers were about schools and covered basic health
education such as hand washing and menstrual care. While Bangladesh’s school
health system is well-developed, no student-led activities were observed. This study
demonstrated the potential for Japanese-style education to foster experiential learning
and critical thinking among students
