## Comprehensive Training for School Bus Staff

In preparation for the upcoming academic year, Sharjah Civil Defence has conducted a safety training program for 1,200 school bus drivers and supervisors. The initiative, held over two days at the Cultural Palace Theatre, focused on emergency evacuation and student safety.

## Key Focus Areas

The training emphasized the critical role of bus staff in ensuring student safety from boarding to reaching their destination. Participants learned about safe evacuation procedures, emergency responses, and maintaining clear exits. They were also trained to identify potential risks and ensure no student is left behind after each trip.

## Importance of Preparedness

Brigadier Jassim Mohammed bin Talai’a highlighted the importance of this training, noting that school bus staff are often the first responders in emergencies. He stressed that safety is a shared responsibility, requiring coordination among all parties involved in education and transportation.

## Broader Safety Measures

This training is part of a larger safety initiative by Sharjah Civil Defence, which includes inspections of schools to ensure readiness for emergencies. These inspections, conducted with the Sharjah Private Education Authority, check fire alarms, firefighting systems, and evacuation routes to ensure a safe environment for students and staff.
