Resource Highlight
The INEE Minimum Standards are the foundational tool for practitioners and policymakers working to provide education to children and youth affected by crisis. They provide good practices and concrete guidance to governments and humanitarian workers for coordinated action to enhance the quality of education preparedness and response, increase access to safe and relevant learning opportunities, and ensure accountability in providing these services. They are being used in over 80 countries around the world to improve programme and policy planning, assessment, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as advocacy and preparedness in order to reach the Education for All goals. The INEE Minimum Standards Handbook is available online here, with over twenty translations here.

Its really important to focus on eduction during and after conflicts for eduction sustain peace and prevent and hinder conficts and wars,education even play a vital role during natural daisters, poverty is most dangerous element thant need to be addressed it will not happen over night but let us try to help power people to have access to free education by compling government to provide free education and apply free boarding schools.
( Achild of 7 yers sent away from school because he didnot pay the weeekly fees (2pounds)and his is not able to meet that so he rent a wheelbarrow to work with it as aporter during which he stopped by authorities when he paid (5 pound) they let him go.
He went home when his Mam welcomed him he burst out crying and explaining what had happen to him.)
So we do need to hold the entire picture together to solve eduction dificuties.and always remmmbering education is the backbone of human develovemet.
