The Philippines is prone to multiple hazards. The education sector is one of the most vulnerable sectors during emergencies. It is among those that often suffer the impacts of disasters brought about by natural and human-induced hazards. From our experience, we recognize that disasters deprive children of their right to a continuous quality basic education in a safe environment. They threaten the lives of children, their families, and education personnel. Disasters also set back the investments made by the education sector.
