Global status of school safety: Key findings from the 2024 Comprehensive School Safety Policy Survey

In 2024, the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) conducted a global policy survey to assess the status of comprehensive school safety around the world. Built on the Comprehensive School Safety Framework, the policy survey was a collaborative, multi-stakeholder process that engaged ministries of education, national disaster management agencies, UN agencies, national, community, and international NGOs, and more.

The Global Status of School Safety paints a picture of the status of implementation of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework across the globe, summarising the key findings of the policy survey. In total, 46 countries, two island territories, and 21 sub-national units participated, representing over 330 million school-aged children.
