Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago country which experiences various catastrophes. Over the years, the casualty rate and the cost of natural disasters have significantly increased. It is estimated that three-quarters of schools in Indonesia, with at least 40 million students, are located in disaster-prone areas. Teachers and students are highly vulnerable if they are not prepared with proper knowledge and skills to deal with different catastrophes, a fact underlined by Indonesia’s National Authority for Disaster Management (BNPB) in 2012. The implementation of disaster education in Indonesia has faced various challenges, including lack of policy support, teacher capacity, lack of references and disaster-related teaching materials, uncertain funding and also questions of how to maintain the sustainability of the integration of DRR into the school curriculum (CDE, 2009). The Hyogo Framework for Action highlighted that knowledge and education are important for building a culture of safety and resilience at all level of hazards in educational curricula for both formal and non-formal education (UNISDR, 2005). This blog post identifies three key actors to build resilience at the school level in Indonesia, namely teachers, students and school management, and offers some recommendations to improve this resilience.
