During the last couple of decades, there has been an increase in the frequency and severity of disasters in Bangladesh, particularly those of hydro meteorological origin such as flood, cyclone and drought. To deal with disasters, Bangladesh has achieved significant progress in disaster preparedness and taken substantial steps forward in terms of risk reduction. However, to create awareness towards disaster, Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005–2015, priority for action-3 gives emphasis on the role of knowledge and education, and highlights formal and non-formal education, and awareness-raising as important components for disaster risk reduction. In this regards, this book chapter intends to highlight the ongoing disaster education at different levels in Bangladesh. It has been seen that Bangladesh is carried out disaster education through course curricula developed by National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) in 1994/1995. In 2006 Disaster management Bureau (DMB) and Comprehensive Disaster Management Program (CDMP) had undertaken a review of the books of NCTB that mainly focused on the measures necessary to be undertaken at the family and community levels and emphasized on the need for risk reduction. This chapter further point outs key gaps and challenges to implement disaster education in context of Bangladesh. Besides, this chapter gives emphasis on non-formal and informal education, and addresses ESD (Education for Sustainable Development), CCE (Climate Change Education) and mentions community’s role for achieving sustainable development that helps to develop attitudes, knowledge to make decisions for the benefit of students, communities, and others, now and in future.
