Education in emergencies: new guidance for concrete action The 38 user-friendly chapters cover the following four subject themes: Access and Inclusion, Teachers and Learners, Curriculum and Learning and Management Capacity. They cover issues such as former child soldiers, psychosocial support to learners, curriculum content and review processes, planning processes, education management information systems and budget and financial management. Each chapter can be consulted either in conjunction with other chapters as an ensemble or as self-contained topics. The Guidebook was developed by IIEP in collaboration with a high-level team of recognized specialists, representing researchers and practitioners from institutions, agencies and ministries across the world as a practical tool with comprehensive guidance notes, checklists of useful strategies and best practices to allow education ministry staff and other stakeholders to respond quickly to crises.
Millions of people live in countries or regions across the world currently suffering from conflict, catastrophe or their aftermath, and it is vital to maintain education and thus provide physical, intellectual and emotional protection for children in these situations. The Guidebook was created to help planners meet this need. It is part of IIEP's pioneering research programme on educational planning in emergencies and reconstruction, and draws on case studies from areas as diverse as Kosovo, Southern Sudan, Timor-Leste and Rwanda.
