Disaster risk reduction in school curricula: case studies from thirty countries
The publication captures key national experiences in the integration of DRR in the curriculum, identifying good practice, noting issues addressed or still lacking, and reviewing learning outcomes.
The study asserts that while education systems are greatly affected by disaster, they are also key to reducing risk and strengthening disaster resilience. Quality education can deliver life-saving and life sustaining knowledge, skills, and attitudes that protect children and young people during and after emergencies.
