Prudence Foundation supports school safety framework revision to strengthen education resilience
Young children practise First Aid intervention to prepare them with basic life-saving skills.
The Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF), first introduced in 2012, aims to provide a comprehensive approach to reducing risks from natural hazards to the education sector by addressing three pillars of school safety: (1) Safe Learning Facilities, (2) School Disaster Management, and (3) Risk Reduction and Resilience Education. Since 2013, Prudence Foundation has been supporting the implementation of the Safe Schools programme based on the CSSF with NGO partners in the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam.
In response to the growing and emerging risks confronting the education sector, including climate related, man-made, and health hazards such as the pandemic, Prudence Foundation is supporting the revision of the global framework and its related tools : CSSF 2021-2030, led by the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in Education Sector (GADRRRES), to ensure a comprehensive approach to All-Hazards to strengthen protection of children’s rights, build resilience of the education system, and support progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
Children exercise good hand washing practice in school.
