NRC helps make schools safer in Iran

TEHRAN – The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is conducting Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) activities to ensure the safety and security of children in Iranian schools.

Iran is the third most earthquake-prone country in the world and experiences, on average, 100 earthquakes every month. While most of them were small in size, others were large. For example, in 2018, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake hit Kermanshah, and in 2003 a 6.6-magnitude earthquake killed 34,000 people in Bam, Kerman Province.

Schools should be safe places so that children are encouraged to learn. If they do not feel safe or comfortable, they may stop coming to their lessons. While we cannot prevent earthquakes, we can work with students and teachers so that they know how to stay safe when an earthquake strikes.

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) activities are part of a pilot project implemented by the Norwegian Refugee Council with generous support from EU humanitarian aid. So far, 17 schools have benefited from such interventions. These schools are now safer places for children and their teachers. The NRC looks forward to scaling up disaster risk reduction interventions in the near future.

The Norwegian Refugee Council has now equipped a school in Mashhad with fire alarms so that children can evacuate in case of a fire and no children are injured, which could lead to disasters beyond floods and earthquakes.

Built more than thirty years ago, without a standard heating system and broken windows that could not be fixed in recent years, the Shuhadiya Enqlab School was not safe for 300 Afghani and Iranian boys aged 12 to 15.

Abolfazl Kamali, Deputy Minister of Education for International Affairs and Schools Abroad, stated that about 527,000 foreign students are studying in Iran, the majority of whom are Afghans and the rest are from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iraq and other countries.

The head of the International Affairs Department of the Ministry of Education, Gholamreza Karimi, said in March 2020, that Iran spends about 20 trillion riyals (nearly $77 million) each year on educating foreign students residing in the country.
