In the event of an earthquake, children and teachers in an unsafe school building are
at considerable risk. According to the Government of Gujarat, a total of 31 teachers
died and 95 were injured, 971 students perished (910 in primary schools, 37 in
secondary schools, 3 in colleges and 21 in technical schools) and 1,051 were injured
in the Bhuj Earthquake of 2001. Formal education was disrupted due to widespread
damage to physical infrastructure. Many of the buildings collapsed and many were
declared unfit for use. Many of these buildings had been poorly constructed, lacked
earthquake resistant features and were badly maintained (P 1 and P 2 show the
collapse of a school building in Ahmedabad city on account of the Bhuj earthquake).
The casualties might have been much higher had it not been a holiday, when many
students were either at home or were in open spaces because of the Republic Day
celebrations.
