THE SCHOOL SAFETY
ASSESSMENT TOOL (2021)
DISCUSSANT: SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS DIVISION (SED)

BACKGROUND
March to August 2021 September 2021
Cross-checked draft
School Safety
Assessment Tool with WHO's
Checklist for Reopening of
Schools
Revised
accordingly based on series
of consultative meetings
with DOH, UNICEF, W H O ,
Child Health Experts, and
other concerned
organizations.
Repackaged as School
SafetyAssessment Tool that
contains indicators
and specific standards that
would show readiness of the
schools if met
Conduct of School
Safety Assessment
using the
School Safety
Assessment Tool
Included as one of the
annexes to the
draft DepEd-DOH's Joint
Memorandum Circular –
Operational Guidelines
on the Pilot
Implementation of Face-
to-Face Learning
Modality
December 2 0 2 0
Initially issued
as School Readiness
Checklist to assess readiness
of the schools

The SSAT shall be redeployed to:
conduct school safety assessment and reassess the readiness of
638 pre-identified schools which passed the initial assessment
conducted last December 2 0 2 0 ;
gather data from the schools that shall be used as baseline
information in preparation for the pilot implementation of the
face-to-face learning modality;
identify key areas where schools may be provided with technical
assistance from different governance levels.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

W h a t is the SSAT for and not for?
• help schools prepare for the
implementation of the face-to-face
learning modalities
• inform the schools of the required
indicators and standards that the
schools need to meet in preparation
for the eventual reopening of classes
while ensuring safety of the learners
and schoolpersonnel
• guide SDOs, ROs, and COs in
providing support and technical
assistance to pilot schools
• SSAT is not the final determinant
on the participation to the pilot
implementation. It is only meant to
prepare schools.
