Joyce Wanican, the International Rescue Committee’s education program manager in northern Uganda, shares her story: She was working with the IRC, training teachers at a refugee camp when rebel troops came through. She lost her home and all her posessions. All her students fled with their families—and almost had to miss the all-important national exams. But Joyce wouldn’t let that happen. She successfully appealed to the government of Uganda to reschedule the test. She found all her students at another refugee camp, 65 miles away, and asked them to go back to school the next morning and start studying. “Every big tree in the camp became a classroom,” she said. “We had no time to waste.” Despite everything, Joyce’s students’ exams came back with the “best results ever.”
In July 2009, INEE Issued a listserv message titled “Moving Forward the Sphere and INEE Companionship: Call for Case Studies on Intersectoral Approaches to Education.” As part of the operationalization of the Sphere-INEE Companionship agreement, this initiative aims to build an evidence base which all members can use to inform policy, advocacy, tools, training and best practices.
This call, made in July 2009, aims at creating a central location for interested professors, instructors, students, and others who are developing curriculum and course outlines in the field of Education in Emergencies.
