Safety Status in Kenya’s Learning Institutions
Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 7
Abstract
Disasters of various kinds have been witnessed in various learning institutions (both private and public) in Kenya for many years. Indeed, disasters disrupt the process and undermine quality of services and loss of lives. This paper ventilates on certain aspects in regard to learning institutions preparedness in handling adversities of various forms. The question here is: Are learning institutions adequately prepared to cope with disasters of all sorts? The main findings from secondary data is that learning institutions are not sufficiently prepared to handle disasters or emergency situations. Recommendations made include developing a coherent safety and disaster/emergency preparedness policy and carrying out sensitization for all key stakeholders within and without learning institutions on issues pertaining to Disaster and Emergency preparedness. It is expected that the findings of this paper will provide insightful reference that learning institutions and stakeholders can rely on in regard to emergency preparedness and management for purposes of instituting procedures that will deter adverse effects of disasters, frequently witnessed in our learning institutions.
