It was reported that the Lombok earthquake had caused damage to at least 606 schools in West Nusa Tenggara. Following the earthquake, the field survey was carried out in a few days to collecting data of damaged schools in Lombok. The global positions of surveyed schools were recorded during the survey to identify the geological and seismicity condition surrounding area. The data were analyzed to understand the cause of the damaged. The damage pattern of the schools is also analyzed and then compared to the other related studies. The damage on the schools in Lombok Island generally has a result of insufficient quality of the building materials. Further, understanding the earthquake resistant building for earthquake prone areas is the most basic knowledge to be informed to the Local Government who has authority to manage the schools.
