Education in Emergencies covers the whole process of emergency education, from planning and setting up a programme, to running it on a day-to-day basis and preparing for future emergencies.


Topics covered include:

  • putting the case for resources for emergency education to donors and governments
  • working within an 'education cluster' to avoid duplication and gaps in provision
  • how to make sure the education you deliver is good quality
  • how to adapt your programme to meet the local context and education system
  • the basics of running a programme - training teachers, helping children cope with trauma, recruiting staff, equipping classrooms.

Education in Emergencies is easy-to-read and highly practical, with lots of tools and real-life examples. The minimum standards of the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies are referenced throughout to help you measure programme effectiveness and meet donor requirements.
