One of the things I like in the Japanese school system is how the schools train them to clean and look after their own space. Once or twice a week, after the day's last class period, all students and teachers will be holding rags, brushes and mops to clean the entire school.
This system sounds pretty good to me. The students are the ones using the place anyway so they have to maintain it. Because it's the students responsibility to clean the school, they don't vandalize things, they don't make a lot of mess and they take care of school properties. They know that messing with the school's cleanliness will backfire since they'll be the one cleaning it.
