Abstract
The Comprehensive School Safety Framework (2017) is funded on three pillars: 'Safe Learning Facilities', 'School Disaster Management', and 'Risk Reduction and Resilience Education'. CROSSH, funded by the International Center for Collaborative Research on Disaster Risk Reduction (ICCRDRR), at Beijing Normal University, China, aimed at investigating how the three pillars underpinned the process of school infrastructure recovery post-2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China, which caused more than 5,000 school children deaths. The focus here is on Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Sichuan. When the M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake struck Sichuan on May 12, 2008, it caused the total or partial collapse of several schools: 1,200 of 2,600 students in the Beichuan Middle School died or were missing due to the building collapse; 500 students in the Beichuan Maoba Middle School died due to the landslides triggered by the earthquake.
