Why should international and private schools obtain school insurance?
International and private schools are exposed to numerous risks that can not only lead to their inability to educate students, but also harm their reputation, operation, and financial situation. It’s your responsibility to prepare your organization for these threats, that may include risks such as:
- Damage to expensive equipment;
- Fires, floods, typhoons and the damage they potentially cause to school property;
- Data breaches, resulting in stolen sensitive data ;
- Business interruption costs (because of damaged property, for example);
- Fraud;
- Compensation for bodily injury or property damage to a third party;
- And many other types of unexpected events.
Schools that have a solid risk management strategy in place should consider insurance a vital part of it. A wide range of threats stemming from different sources, such as natural disasters, man-made events, and any unforeseen accidents, can destabilize even the most prepared institution. Having an insurance strategy helps schools go through hard times as smoothly as possible, and also minimizes the costs of dealing with such events.
