Which level comes directly after the Physiological needs?

• A. Safety
• B. Esteem
• C. Love/Belonging
• D. Self-Actualization

Answer: (A)

In Maslow's hierarchy, after the basic survival needs are satisfied, the next priority is safety and security. This includes physical safety, a stable environment, predictable routines, and access to health and resources. When a student’s physiological needs are met, attention can shift to feeling safe and protected, which is essential for learning. In a classroom for visually impaired students, this means clear safety procedures, accessible navigation, consistent schedules, and reliable support so the student can focus on learning rather than worry about harm or instability. The levels that come after safety—Love/Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualization—build on this sense of security.
