Key EiE Publications: Pre-2000s

This volume contains the text of the two documents adopted by the World Conference on Education for All (Jomtien, Thailand, 5-9 March 1990), convened jointly by the executive heads of UNICEF, UNDP, UNESCO, and the World Bank.

This book was written with several groups in mind. It is primarily for UNHCR's staff, but it is also for the staff of its operational partners, whether they be voluntary organizations, UN agencies or Governments.

In the study, the expert proposes the elements of a comprehensive agenda for action by Member States and the international community to improve the protection and care of children in conflict situations, and to prevent these conflicts from occurring.

In the new vision of world development that is beginning to emerge in the 1990s, knowledge, human ingenuity, imagination and goodwill are the only resources that finally matter.

Since the World Conference on Education for All (Jomtien, 1990), education in conflict and crisis situations has emerged as a new challenge to be addressed by the international community.

The paper outlines a set of broad strategies for UNICEF’s work in education in emergencies, and provides a summary of the organization’s approach, some practical information on implementation, and an identification of areas where more work is needed.

The Book of Needs Volume I (1947) is UNESCO's first account of post-war educational and cultural losses and needs in 15 countries affected by World War II.

The Book of Needs Volume II is UNESCO's second account of postwar educational losses and needs in countries which have suffered war.
