It's to protect from falling debris from the ceiling. How much it helps is debatable but it's best they have there in school. More effective on traditional bombing than nukes
In Finland we have bomb shelters everywhere, it's arguably more effective
Edit: I'm too drunk to write coherent sentences
It's also to give people something to do. Something to practice and focus on getting right. Gives hope and keeps people from getting caught in a panic loop.
Man, that is so depressing to read though.
This too, very much
In sweden we had nuke safe kindergartens, concrete slides to put in the 40 cm deep windows and all.
We remember russia and the fucking soviet union.
That edit is expected of anyone Finnish.

In WW1 armies learned helmets were a good idea when artillery kicked up big chunks of debris killing unlucky soldiers when it rained down on them. Ballistic protection was an afterthought that came along later.
So yeah better than nothing I guess, same with tornado drills our schools have sometimes
They almost stopped using helmets again, too. The number of head injuries skyrocketed. Thankfully, someone pointed out to command that the helmets weren't causing the injuries, but converting fatalities into injuries. They hadn't been recording head injuries on corpses.
