Indonesia: Calls to include disaster education at schools

Asia/ Indonesia/ 29.01.2019/ By: Step Vaessen/  Source: www.aljazeera.com.

Among 6,000 schools in Jakarta, only 165 have been taught how to respond in case of an emergency.

Children’s organisations in Indonesia are urging the government to include disaster education in the school curriculum.

Many children died during an earthquake last year because they didn’t know how to protect themselves.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Palu, Sulawesi.
