The ASEAN CSS Mapping Study ASEAN SAFE SCHOOL INITIATIVE (ASSI)

AADMER Work Programme 2010-2015 AADMER Work Programme 2016-2020 Risk Assessment, Early Warning & Monitoring Prevention and Mitigation Preparedness and Response Recovery The ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety presents the conceptual framework to enhance school safety against the adverse impacts of natural and man-made hazards for the ASEAN nations. The framework, contextualised for the ASEAN nations, is extracted from the widely recognised Comprehensive School Safety (CSS) Framework, with elaborated details to guide education ministry and the National Disaster Management Offices (NDMOs) towards more intensified action on school safety. The framework incorporates inputs from national education authorities and disaster management agencies during series of forum and purposive consultations, whose common goal is to establish an enabling environment for the alignment of education sector policies and plans with those of disaster management, at national, sub-national and local levels. Risk Assessment and Awareness Prevention and Mitigation Preparedness and Response Recovery Knowledge and Innovation Management

Opportunities and Priorities: ASSI Now & Future AADMER WP 2016-2020 in concurrence with the newly adopted SFDRR (new Working Group on Knowledge and Innovation Management). Joint endorsement of the ASEAN Common Framework for CSS by the Education and DM sectors. Strengthening of knowledge and good practices exchange mechanism among AMSs (ASSI KM/COM) Strengthening ASEAN capacity on SS and development of pool of trained SS experts/practitioners

The ASEAN Common Framework for CSS Elaborates the operationalisation of the CSS Framework into workable plans and programmes for the ASEAN context in concurrence with global efforts for integrating DRR in the education sector Strategically guide DRR integration in the education sector through comprehensive interventions, unified actions and synergy at different levels (school, sub-national, national, regional) What is the ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety? The ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety (ACFCSS) presents the conceptual framework to enhance school safety against the adverse impacts of natural and man- made hazards for the ASEAN nations. It seeks to bring the national education authorities and the National Disaster Management Offices (NDMOs) together, with the common goal to establish an enabling environment to align sectoral policies along with disaster management policies at the national, sub-regional and local levels. The ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety is proposed to support operationalising the CSS Framework into workable plans and programs incorporating ASEAN perspectives and contextualising the efforts and initiatives taken within the ASEAN region. It elaborates the CSS framework to enhance upscaling school safety interventions in member states. The ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety (ACFCSS) is developed to address the common challenges on school safety in the ASEAN region. This framework will be used as a regional instrument to strategically guide the integration of disaster risk reduction in the education sector in ASEAN towards comprehensive interventions, unified actions and synergy on school safety with specific focus at the national level. It is also intended to provide a conceptual basis of concerned agencies, Ministry of Education and National Disaster Management Agencies in particular, in ASEAN, to develop school safety interventions based on country- specific need and context, as well as guide the member states on operationalisation of the framework to effectively translate the concept into concrete actions with substantive impacts. It demonstrates consistency with the Worldwide Initiative for Safe School’s (WISS) promotion of a comprehensive approach to school safety by proposing an operationalisation framework that clarifies and details possible interventions within the overlapping aspects of ensuring safety in schools. It also guides leveraging of multi-actors/ multi-layer partnership and collaboration for implementation, and proposes a set of progress monitoring indicators to track progress within the agreed timeframe. The framework incorporates the ASEAN perspectives, and context-based efforts and initiatives of the ASEAN members, to ensure its applicability at the national, sub-national and school levels, to further enhance upscaling of school safety interventions among member states. The ACFCSS operationalises the antecedent to the framework, the Comprehensive School Safety (CSS) Framework, developed by the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) for the Southeast Asia context. The CSS Framework’s goals, alignment between disaster management and education sector policies and plans, foundation in a child-centred risk assessment, and “3 Pillars” are used by the ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety to develop the comprehensive set of activities under the headings of: Safe Learning Facilities, School Disaster Management, and Risk Reduction and Resilience Education. The ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety has been built upon substantive outcomes and progress achieved so far on school safety by individual member country in ASEAN. It is also aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), which has broad global consensus, and contributes substantively to the Sustainable Development Goals for 20304. The goals of the framework are to secure the safety and security of children in school from the impacts of all types of hazards, ensure education continuity, and to uphold children’s rights to a quality basic education, including anticipation and mitigation of the impacts of known and expected hazards.

The ASEAN School Safety/DRR in Education Mapping Study A region-wide mapping of school safety efforts or any initiatives relating to DRR in education. To survey, examine, and document policies, guidelines, programmes or projects, tools and resources for the advancement of school safety in the ASEAN region To provide an overview of CSS implementation in both country and regional levels and to effectively assess progress on SS and address identified gaps. The ASEAN Common Framework for Comprehensive School Safety has the following key features: 1. It presents the conceptual framework to enhance school safety against the adverse impacts of natural and man-made hazards in the context of the ASEAN region; 2. It seeks to bring national education authorities and NDMOs together with the common goal to establish an enabling environment to align sectoral policies along with disaster management policies at the national, sub-national/local levels and the school levels; and 3. It uses the comprehensive set of activities under the three pillars of: Safe Learning Facilities, School Disaster Management, and Risk Reduction & Resilient Education. 4. Provide targets and indicators for measuring progress towards the goals of safety, educational continuity, and protection of education sector investments.

Why is the ASEAN CSS Mapping important? Information will serve as a baseline on the status of CSS implementation for each of the ASEAN member states, and for the region as a whole, to assess progress. Support the proper rollout of the ACFCSS at the country and regional levels. Mapping activity results can also serve as inputs to the national reports for the AADMER Work Programme 2016-2020 Priority Programme 2: Build Safely.  The baseline information gathered can facilitate the identification of national targets on CSS in compliance with the education sector targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR).
