INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction (2004)

Please see the updated and current INEE Minimum Standards, published in 2010, here.

The Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction are both a handbook and an expression of commitment, developed through a broad process of collaboration, that all individuals children, youth and adults have a right to education during emergencies. They echo the core beliefs of the Sphere Project: that all possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of calamity and conflict, and that people affected by disaster have a right to life with dignity.
