9. India
While schools in remote and rural areas may follow
government design templates, construction is typically
informal and community-based. The government and key
NGOs have spearheaded a massive push to build safer
schools through seismic resistant school design templates,
better engineering education, and improved construction
practice.
11. Indonesia
In 1999, Indonesia responded to their complex geography
and significant exposure to hazards by decentralising
their governance. The MoE gave block grants to school
management committees to build, repair and manage
scho ols. Over the last five years, the government has
allocated extra funding for improving school-building safety.
10. Nepal
Through close collaboration with national and international
NGOs, Nepal has been assessing the hazard safety of
their school buildings in an effort to retrofit or rebuild all
dilapidated buildings before 2020. To finance retrofits, the
government usually relies on building community demand for
safer schools.
