Q.Seasonal flood and its impact on school education. (maximum 200 Word)
Answers
Answer:
The increase in flood intensity and frequency poses a threat to community infrastructure and affects the total well-being of children in regard to: access to food, health, school attendance, access to clean water and sanitation, physical and social security. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, this article provided an overview of flood disasters and their potential effects on children’s access to quality education in Zimbabwe. The purpose of the study was to analyse school children’s specific vulnerabilities to flood disasters that need to be taken into account in policy development. Research indicated that floods cause loss of learning hours, loss of qualified personnel, outbreak of waterborne diseases, high absenteeism and low syllabus coverage leading to children’s poor academic performance. Children noted a range of experiences, from food insecurity to being withdrawn from school and sometimes forced into early marriages. These challenges compromise children’s rights and access to quality education. This article therefore recommended that a culture of safety be promoted through disaster education, development of good road networks and enforcement of building codes during construction of school infrastructure. Findings also supported the need for adaptation strategies to ensure that the risks specific to school children are addressed

The flood waters have led to lost the lives and properties of many districts & states, destroying not only the houses of people but also roads, terrains and bridges. This disaster has revealed a serious problem facing the whole state's education sector.
Explanation:
- We have seen several elementary schools in floods that were destroyed because of this year's floods. Several schools rescued from flooding continue to be used as shelters & relief camps for "homeless flood victims" because of which even after the "summer break", the "new academic session" gets delayed in many school thus hampering student's education.
- Govt and Municipal run schools are have poor infrastructure and are built on weak foundation, and as such when there is heavy flooding it causes repeated soil erosion and the building collapses leading to loss of lives/property as well loss of education. Also flooding in areas such as roads, bridges etc causes inconvenience for students to commute up and down from homes to schools and vice versa. Hence, damage because floods and records on drop-out rate were also gathered. Floods cause "cancellation & disruption" of "regular classes", "physical damage" to schools, & has an "adverse effects" on school education
