The Fierce Urgency of Now: Delivering children’s right to education during crisis

2016 could see a catalytic transformation in the global approach and ambition to providing education to children during crisis with the creation of a new Education in Crisis Platform.

Designed to:

1. inspire political commitment
2. expand and coordinate planning and response
3. generate and disburse new funding
4. build national and global capacity
5. strengthen accountability and evidence

The Education Crisis Platform could deliver a catalytic shift in in global approach and ambition in the area of education in emergencies and protracted crises, securing the right of millions of children caught up in crisis to go to school.

In The Fierce Urgency of Now the Global Campaign for Education UK sets out what the UK government should do next to ensure that this transformation takes place – through political and financial leadership at the World Humanitarian Summit and beyond.
