Operational Sustainability of Education: Analysis of Safe Facilities and Infrastructure Standards
Keywords:
Operational sustainability, education, safe facilities, infrastructureAbstract
Global challenges are highly dependent on the availability of safe facilities and infrastructure for the sustainability of educational operations such as pandemics, natural disasters, and climate change. This study aims to analyze the standards of safe facilities and infrastructure in supporting the sustainability of educational operations at various school levels. This study uses a literature review method, namely collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing various relevant literature, including books, scientific journals, government policies, and previous research reports. Through literature reviews and regulatory analysis, it was found that educational facilities must meet the criteria for physical safety, health, and accessibility. Safety standards include disaster-resistant building construction, provision of adequate sanitation facilities, and access to technology that supports distance learning. The results of this study indicate that improving and monitoring standards of facilities and infrastructure are important factors in ensuring sustainable, inclusive, and safe education for all students. Policy recommendations focus on increasing investment in educational infrastructure and enforcing related regulations to ensure a healthy learning environment.
