During my studies at MCCD, I accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills, which not only helped me to be able to successfully complete this research but also helped a lot with my work.
In the course of my studies, I have gained the necessary knowledge and basic, interdisciplinary methodologies to assess and address issues related to climate change mitigation, adaptation to Sustainable development at global, national, and local levels. From there, I can apply that knowledge to my research topic, offer new ideas on climate change response, approach disaster preparedness planning from a CC adaptation perspective, and propose solutions for it. During the research process, I worked with and cooperated with schools, the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang City. Work skills, communication skills, time management, independent work, and the seriousness of the work I learned from MCCD helped me to complete this research well.
Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Thi Tong for her invaluable guidance, encouragement, and support throughout the Master thesis process. Thi gave me extremely perceptive, helpful, and appropriate expert guidance, particularly in reading and responding to the drafts of my work quicker than I had anticipated. Secondly, I would like to thank all the people who were involved in the research process.
All the directors of 97 primary schools and DoET's staff in Da Nang city, who helped in conducting surveys, interviews, and setting up the fieldwork. Thirdly, the teachers in the MCCD, Vietnam Japan University. Teachers not only equip students with valuable specialized knowledge in the field of climate change research but also create favorable conditions and provide dedicated guidance to students during the dissertation process. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family and friends in the MCCD for helping me complete this thesis.
vii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. The necessity of the research Climate change (CC) around the globe began to affect and directly affect the weather and climate of Vietnam with natural disasters that are more abnormal and intense. Vietnam is the 6th country in the world affected by extreme weather events in the context of CC (period 1999 - 2018) (Carter, 2008). In the context of CC, the frequency and intensity of natural disasters are increasing, causing great damages of people and properties, adversely affecting all fields (MONRE, 2016).
The impact of CC in the form of natural disasters can seriously affect Vietnam's education system and threaten the achievement of goal 4 - The Quality of Education in the Sustainable Development Goals. Education is one of the sectors most severely affected by climate disasters in Vietnam (MOET, 2011). In a country like Vietnam, natural disasters such as storms and floods can happen unexpectedly. Therefore, disaster preparedness is the first and most important step to minimize damages, especially in the context of primary schools, where students are underage disasters‟ response.
Good disaster preparedness will help both reducing the damages and making recovery quicker. Disaster preparedness is important for disaster managers, as, in the event of an emergency, the response to a disaster or natural disaster depends very much on the disaster preparedness plan (International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 2000). Although natural disasters occur every year, primary schools still have confused of handling before, during, and after a disaster. The recovery takes a lot of time, so interrupt learning and the quality of schools learning.
Primary schools prepare disaster prevention plans at the beginning of each school year. Based on the country's National Action Plan to Respond to Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) will make a plan, and the Departments of Education and Training (DoET) will follow that plan to bring down the DoET of each district and the basis for the school's plan. The whole process is conducted based on a 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.
