Disaster Risk in School Infrastructure The Global Program for Safer Schools Fernando Ramirez Cortes Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist The World Bank Group
Message 1 Children and teachers are increasingly exposed to the impact of natural hazards worldwide
Each year, natural disasters and climate change around the world have a devastating effect on children s education Year Event Country # of schools affected 2001 Earthquake India 1,864 (collapsed) 2005 Earthquake Pakistan 7,000 (collapsed) 2007 Cyclone Bangladesh 6,000 (collapsed) 2008 Earthquake China 7,400 (collapsed) 2009 Cyclone Philippines 3,417 (damaged) 2010 Earthquake Haiti 1,350 (collapsed) 2013 Typhoon Philippines 2,500 (damaged) 2015 Earthquake Nepal 5,000 (destroyed) 2016 Earthquake Ecuador 1,000 (damaged) 2016 Hurricane Haiti 730 (damaged) Source World Bank GPSS
Low intensity and high frequency events such as floods and storms may have a accumulative impact stronger than a single large scale disaster About 70% of schools in Mozambique are located in hazard prone areas 40,000 new classrooms (estimated) will be needed by 2025 Impact of recurrent events, 200 to 1,000 classrooms destroyed, out of about 400-600 constructed every year Source World Bank GPSS
Along with growing urbanization in middle-income countries large stock of school buildings are exposed to natural hazards In Peru more than 45,000 public school facilities serve 6.5m students In Turkey over 83,000 schools offer services to 17.5m students Seismic risk of school infrastructure in Peru (Annual Average Loss AAL) Distribution of Students according to Earthquake Zones Source: A.

Message 2 The accumulative impact of natural disasters and climate change exacerbates governments ability to finance and operate a growing stock of school facilities and ensure continuity of educational services especially in the poorest areas
The rapid expansion of school infrastructure and dynamic education approaches From 2000 to 2015 as part of the Millennium Development Goals The primary school net enrolment rate in developing regions increased from 83% to 91% The number of out-of-school children (primary age) worldwide has fallen by from 100 to 57 million Source: UN MDGs Report 2015

There are common issues in developing countries that can be addressed poor baseline (inventory and condition) of school facilities non-updated building codes and poor enforcement lack of proper planning for new school locations low quality buildings due to multiple problems in the construction cycle low coordination between stakeholders (government institutions, community, Donors, NGOs) poor or lack of maintenance
Poor Construction Quality: Evidence from the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal 58% of school buildings in the fourteen most damage affected districts are of Unreinforced Masonry type followed by Steel Frame with Masonry Walls (27%) Source World Bank GPSS Nepal SSP SIDA Steel Frame 27% RC Frame 12% Timber Frame 3% Structural Typology [out of 18,000 buildings] Masonry 58%
Poor Construction Quality: Evidence from the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal UNREINFORCED MASONRY (UM) 69% of UM school buildings are made of field stone walls laid in mud mortar 86% of UM school buildings have been damaged by the earthquake Source World Bank GPSS Nepal SSP SIDA 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 16 11 32 32 Dry stone Damage Level in UM Schools 356 1002 1877 69 103 1230 112 Stone in mud mortar 75 55 Stone in cement mortar 53 168 431 339 311 58 154 Brick in mud mortar Brick in cement mortar Collapse Major Damage Minor Damage Unaffected
Poor Construction Quality: Evidence from the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal STEEL FRAME WITH MASONRY WALLS (SFM) 2,046 school buildings (43%) have collapsed or have had major damage, due to mainly the poor performance of the masonry walls Source World Bank GPSS Nepal SSP SIDA
Message 3 Innovation and optimization of traditional engineering solutions is required to find affordable options and scale up policies to make school infrastructure (existing and new) more resilient
