Overflow from water bodies such as lakes, rivers, or oceans is called a flood. Such calamities do irreparable harm to several sectors in any location. Like other sectors, the education sector was also affected by floods; this study's main focus was to observe the effects of floods on students' enrolment, attendance, and performance in curricular activities in Tehsil Bhowana. District Chiniot has three tehsils: Chiniot, Lalian, and Bhowana. Among these tehsils, Bhowana was partially affected by flood. The flood-affected schools include 13 male and 17 female public schools. The population size was 65 male and 78 female teachers, respectively. A random sample of 121 respondents was selected, and data was collected by using a questionnaire. The research was quantitative and descriptive in nature. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The main findings were the spread of infectious diseases, lack of proper planning by the government, temporary migrations, food shortage, damaged school buildings, student absenteeism, dropping out from schools, unhealthy environment, psychological effects on teachers and students, and temporary closure of schools were the main effects of the flood on students’ enrolment, attendance, and curricular activities. It was concluded that floods not only create hurdles in the learning process of learners but also close schools permanently or temporarily, destroy infrastructure, displace families, and spread infectious diseases. The study’s main recommendations were alternative sites, schools, not evacuation centers, a proactive planning approach by the government, more funds in the budget for damaged schools’ buildings, and health services being provided to the affected ones on an urgent basis.
