Educational infrastructure in most countries around the world is underfunded and overextended, and schools are more vulnerable to natural hazards than other building types. It is not only putting children at significant risk, but also reducing the quality of education and limiting opportunities for economic and social growth and other community benefits. In addition, in the wake of natural disasters, despite best intentions to ‘build back better’, the opportunity to leverage investment in the reconstruction of educational institutions has in some cases been lost due to lack of advance preparation and capacity for recovery and reconstruction.
The objective of holding this webinar is to disseminate information about enhancing the capacity of different stakeholders to build back better and provide a resilient and safe environment to students & also create awareness in the society about resilient educational infrastructure, Participants will be provided with authorized e- certificates.
