Japan has enacted the School Health and Safety Act in 1978 and has taken measures
to ensure school safety. In particular, the East Japan Earthquake has taken concrete
measures to ensure comprehensive and effective school safety. From the viewpoint of
ESD, Safety education can be said to be education not only to protect life but also to
recognize life and change behavior in relation to present and future generations and
environment. In this regard, the 2011 earthquake and nuclear power plant accidents in
2011 reaffirmed the necessity and value of ESD as well as rethinking sustainability. The
National Institute for Educational Policy Research suggests seven skills and attitudes,
such as six constructive concepts such as reciprocity and critical thinking, as frameworks
for learning instruction based on ESD viewpoints. By designing and implementing
classes based on this, Students are able to acquire skills, attitudes, and values related to
the creation of a sustainable society in the process of discovery, exploration, and
resolution of class assignments. Students' safety education is to foster the future of safety
consciousness and ability to build safety awareness and safety culture for future
generations.
