Singapore to host the world’s first toilet college
Wednesday, August 31st, 2005 at 6:15 am in WeirdSINGAPORE (AFP) - The world’s first toilet college is to open in Singapore to teach cleaners how to improve their lavatory washing skills.
The first batch of 30 students from a local cleaning company will start their training at the Toilet College in October, local broadcaster Channel NewsAsia said on its website.
The college is being set up by the Singapore-based World Toilet Organisation.
“We are going to train the toilet cleaners to upgrade himself or herself to a level where he or she can take care of the entire toilet, including changing bulbs, repairing leaky taps… technical cleaning, taking away urine salt inside the toilet,” said Jack Sim, president of the World Toilet Organisation.
The college plans to offer courses on toilet design and architecture next year.
The World Toilet Organisation is a non-profit organisation with 17 members, including the Restroom Association of Singapore, the Japan Toilet Association and the Beijing Tourism Bureau.
