Over the past 25 years, Nepal has dedicated itself to enhancing school safety through various initiatives and learning continuity efforts. This resource from the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) provides insights into Nepal's journey towards safer educational environments.
This journey encompasses diverse initiatives and learning continuity efforts. By 2023, in collaboration with UN and INGO partners, the Comprehensive School Safety (CSS) Framework has been implemented in over 23% of the country's schools, approximately 8,000 schools. The government's education sector plan now aims to rapidly expand CSS coverage, addressing local hazards, including those linked to climate change.
This case study outlines Nepal's evolving approach to Comprehensive School Safety, with a significant turning point being the 2015 earthquake and its aftershocks. Today, Nepal stands as a leader in this field, contributing significantly to regional and global disaster risk reduction policies within the education sector.
