At the end of the project, each school will have

including structural assessment• Teachers trained on how to teach
DRR in school• A DRR action plan (integrated in
the school development planning) and implement it

What we have learned so far ...
• Teacher and school principle more busy than rural setting
• Lot of extracurricular activity • The provincial department and disaster management
agency staff have basic knowledge on DRR• Its good to have an MoU between with Education
department at provincial level • Education department at provincial Level are very
supportive in supporting the project, formal and informal
• The provincial Education department has dedicate their staff to support and to get involved in monev
• Need to be more creative in organize the activity of safe school Vs regular activity at school
Total beneficiaries so Far
From Targeted: 20 school with Approximately 6,000 children's, 200 teachers and school administrators, 50 multi stakeholders, 15,000 community members
Challenges• Lack of participation from teacher In some schoool,
such as SDN Rawa Bunga Karang East Jakarta & SDN Kota Bambu 01 Pg Palmerah, West Jakarta. Its maybe because lack of knowledge from them
• Its hard to find suitable time to conduct some activity because school already have regular activity and because of the schedule of exam and final exam
• Changes of 3 school principal , so partners need to re-start the strategy and need to communication
• Few parent are fell afraid to give permission to their child to get involved in the safe school activity if the activity outside the school
What Next?• Organize structural assessments of 6 school for
the first year• Organize regular emergency evacuation simulations for
earthquake, flood, and fire at schools• Facilitate development of child-centered safe
schools action plans with the participation of children
• Adapt and disseminate child-friendly IEC materials on safe schools
• Intensive coordination and advocacy with relevant multi stakeholders
• Completion of trainings for teachers to roll-out curriculum modules on mainstreaming DRR education
