Abstract
This report examines the responses of primary schools in Lakshmipur Sadar to the 2024 flash flooding event and its implications on educational access to hundreds of children. In this research paper based on qualitative evidence obtained through semi-structured interviews with teachers, Focus Group Discussions with parents, Key Informant Interviews with health and education sectors including health facility staff and education administrators, the focus was on the health and education sectors’ response. The results pinpoint health-related problems experienced after the flood, many international and national actors working together, schools acting as a dual-purpose facility and the issue of restoring education. It emphasizes the need for effective interventions focused on children’s health care and disaster management plans to prevent disruption of educational activities and health risks.
