State of the Art Education in War Child Programmes

The intent of this paper is to further advance the inclusion and expansion of various educational activities in War Child’s programmes. In chapter 2, grounds will be given for education as a priority in conflict-affected areas. Chapters 3 and 4 will elaborate on the definitions of various components in education and the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction (further referred to as INEE Minimum Standards). Chapter 5 examines the educational activities currently taking place in War Child programmes. Chapter 6 gives insight into good practice in other organizations, evidence of success and lessons learned. Finally, chapter 7 presents the recommendations for further development and inclusion of educational activities in War Child programmes. This will serve as a base for discussion within the organization and for the development of policy and guidelines in the years to come.
