Jakarta. In the wake of recent calamities such as the Mount Merapi eruptions and Mentawai tsunami, the government is considering including disaster preparedness in the national school curriculum.
Tito Setiawan, a spokesman for the Coordinating Ministry for People’s Welfare, said on Sunday that its officials were planning to meet with the National Education Ministry and other stakeholders to discuss the proposal.
However, he declined to say when the plans would be introduced, because these had yet to be worked out.
“We need schools to prepare the students to handle disasters,” Tito said. “We’re going to work on how we can make this is as a part of curriculums and implement it effectively.”
