Global Status of School Safety

In 2024, the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) conducted a global policy survey to assess the status of comprehensive school safety around the world. Built on the Comprehensive School Safety Framework, the policy survey was a collaborative, multi-stakeholder process that engaged ministries of education, national disaster management agencies, UN agencies, national, community, and international NGOs, and more.

In total, 46 countries, two island territories, and 21 sub-national units participated, representing over 330 million school-aged children.
