Education Can’t Wait

The video “Education Can’t Wait” presents the work of the Education Cluster. The Global Education Cluster is the only cluster at global level co-led by a UN agency and a NGO, namely UNICEF and Save the Children International. Its vision is to enable all children and young people to have immediate access or ensured continuity to a quality education in a safe environment, in order to protect, develop and facilitate a return to normality and stability. This short film makes the case for why education is important in emergency situations.  Using examples from a number of country situations, it explains the vital role that education can play in supporting children and young people throughout and beyond an emergency.  The film also provides examples of the types of education interventions that can be organized from the beginning of a humanitarian response and the importance of working together and collaborating through coordination mechanisms like the Education Cluster.
 
Education Can’t Wait is intended to be used as an advocacy tool with a range of different actors.  It can be shown at meetings, workshops and other events to promote the importance of education in emergencies.
