152 Section 10. Case 21: The Case Studies Costa Rica Overview Costa Rica is an example of inclusion of DRR in a limited number of subjects but still contributes to the overall reinforcement of DRR by being carried within the ‘transversal theme’ of environmental education. Table 10. DRR in the Costa Rican Curriculum: Some Examples Introduction Costa Rica has been developing disaster risk reduction education mechanisms since the late 1980s. In 1987 the Ministry of Education created an Educational Programme for Emergencies (PEEMEP). Among the objectives of PEEMEP was to develop didactic materials on disasters oriented towards teachers and students and to coordinate and develop first aid courses and evacuation plans for earthquakes and fires. In 1991, disaster education was included in Science and Social Studies curricula for primary school and was extended to secondary schools in 1993 (Ministerio de Educación Pública et. al, 2000,8). Curriculum Development/Integration In 2000 the Education Council approved environmental education as a transversal theme in education with disaster risk prevention and mitigation as one of its main components. Specifically, disaster prevention is now taught within the Science curricula for grade 1 -3 and within the Social Studies curricula for grades 4 -9. However, DRR appears in other subjects across the curricula. A few examples are provided below 94 : At the same time, the National Strategy for Environmental Education implemented an annual National Week of Disaster Risk Reduction Education during the second week of October as a way to foster educational activities aimed at building a disaster risk prevention culture (Monge, 2005).
