Key Informant Interviews

- Limited OSH subjects required

- Need to incorporate OSH topics in other

curriculum other than engineering and

nursing

- Network with BFP, DOH, Red Cross and

other agencies for specialized health and

safety topics

- More budget for capacity building of

teachers, development of IEC materials
