Education in emergencies – Concept paper

Education, quality-assured education, is one of the basic rights of the child. Without education, a child is immediately disadvantaged and far less likely to achieve his or her true potential. It is Save the Children’s vision that education should be child centred, child friendly and empowering. This has implications not only for long-term development but also for emergency situations, where the normal provision of schooling is disrupted or has completely broken down.
