Abstract

In this paper we present some aspects of the formal educational system in N. Macedonia, Spain and Bulgaria, with a focus on the contents through which students gained knowledge regarding prevention, preparedness, and response in case of natural disasters. The overview of the curricula is based on an extensive desktop analysis of the existing curricula in primary, secondary and special schools in each of the selected countries.
Our special focus was on three separately natural disasters - fires, earthquakes, and floods. Using the method of
deduction, we singled out the subjects and topics regarding these disasters, as well as topics through which students
are trained for protection in case of these natural disasters. We also present the results of the curricula analysis in this manner. The results are shown separately for primary, secondary, and special schools in each of the countries. The curricula analysis gives us an insight in the present status regarding the knowledge and skills development offered in the educational process of children and youth with and without disabilities. In general, the results of the analysis show us that although efforts are being made to provide lessons through which the pupils and the students will acquire knowledge related to protection in case of natural disasters, and although there are extracurricular activities, still there is a need for improvement of the formal educational systems in each of the three countries.
