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

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.
