The policy brief is based onand published by the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector, co-chaired by UNESCO. The data is drawn from survey responses provided by 46 countries, 2 island territories, and 21 subnational regions, collectively representing more than 330 million school-aged children.

The purpose of the  is to provide strategic guidance to duty bearers and their partners to promote safe, equitable, and continuous access to a quality education for all. The framework, now endorsed by 84 governments, promotes an all hazards, all risks model to protect education systems, learners, and personnel, and ensure learning continuity amid natural, technological, and health hazards, as well as conflict and violence and everyday threats. Yet, despite widespread endorsement, the policy brief shows that fewer than one-third of countries are using this framework to shape national policies, and less than two-thirds have established a coordinating body for its implementation.

The survey also found that there is a broad awareness of the need to ensure learning continues in crises. However, while 94% of governments have continuity policies, and 98% provide school-level guidance, one-third report weak or unenforced plans, and only 30% of schools review them annually. Children most at risk, especially refugees and other displaced populations, are underrepresented in these plans.

Climate impacts, such as flooding, heatwaves, and wildfires, are disrupting education. On the one hand, 79% of governments have plans for climate-related risks, however, only 21% conduct climate risk assessments for schools, with 20% providing robust guidance for adaptation.

75% of countries reported infrastructure damage to schools from hazards, and 1 in 3 governments cite student deaths from earthquakes. Despite building codes, just 12% are systematically upgrading weak schools. 

The survey also highlights serious gaps in addressing non-climate related risks. 91% of governments have national strategies for school health and wellbeing, but only 28% have sufficient funding. 90% recognize bullying and violence as a hazard, with 24% reporting student deaths as a result.

Fewer than half collect disaggregated data on violence based on gender or disability. More and better data is needed to inform an effective response. While nearly all governments involve teachers in planning, only 16% require training on disaster risk reduction, 18% in climate adaptation and 30% in social and emotional learning.

Children are hugely affected by school safety risks, yet only 21% of governments offer strong guidance on student participation in safety planning. Less than 35% include children in risk assessments, despite the clear benefits of involving students in identifying and addressing real-world hazards.

The policy brief recognizes the efforts being made by governments but emphasizes that much more needs to be done. 

To protect and uphold the right to education, the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector calls on governments to:

• Endorse and fully implement the Comprehensive School Safety Framework.
• Integrate school safety into all national policies and systems.
• Allocate sufficient funding to infrastructure, teacher training, and inclusive planning.
• Monitor progress and share learnings globally.
• Center children in all planning and response.
