Pillar 1: Safer Learning Facilities Guidebook

The Pillar 1: Safer Learning Facilities Guidebook was developed to help school

communities assess, improve, and maintain safer learning environments. Anchored on

Pillar 1 of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework, it offers practical, inclusive

guidance, focusing on infrastructure safety to promote safe, equitable, and continuous

access to quality education for all. It further complements the DepEd Educational Facilities

Manual by providing contextualized, school-level strategies that extend beyond technical

infrastructure standards. This Guidebook serves as the first in a series of three guidebooks,

with upcoming resources on Pillar 2: School Disaster Management and Pillar 3: Risk

Reduction and Resilience Education.
