Abstract
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015–2030 was adopted in 2015 at the Third World Conference on Disaster Reduction, and education can be regarded as a crosscutting issue to achieve the four priorities in SFDRR. This chapter identifies the key issues and considers the contribution to SFDRR with the essences and suggestions based on the experiences of Japan in order to apply to other developing and developed countries for enhancing disaster resilience of education system. This chapter suggests the following: (1) curricula, contents, tools, and materials for disaster education, (2) teacher training, (3) school-community linkage and public awareness, (4) budgeting and investment, (5) multi-stakeholders’ involvement and technical support by external organizations, (6) sustainable development and disaster risk reduction, and (7) governance system among national, prefectural, and municipal governments as crucial issues for enhancing disaster resilience of education system. Governance system plays significant roles for the four priorities of SFDRR.
