To promote evidence-based educational policies, interventions and directions for education aid, and development in NW Syria, the ERICC programme focuses on gathering, analysing and producing contextually relevant education research. In this initial phase, we review the existing research evidence published in academic journals and reports produced by organisations and research centres that examine the policy and local levels of the education system in NW Syria.

This technical brief draws on a Research Agenda working paper for education in conflict and crisis in South Sudan. Through a comprehensive ‘country scan’ process – involving an evidence review, mapping exercises, key informant interviews and key stakeholder meetings – evidence gaps in education within the conflict-affected and protracted crisis context of South Sudan have been identified.

The ERICC Research Programme Consortium has developed a systematic conceptual framework to translate individual studies into an interconnected body of knowledge on effective educational practices in conflict contexts. Through this framework, we aim to synthesise the existing body of knowledge and build a systematic knowledge base that is comprehensive, context-sensitive and actionable for educational interventions and policy changes.

The study for that report maps critical stakeholders, highlighting roles and responsibilities.

This brief draws on a working paper that reviews existing evidence and knowledge on the education sector in Lebanon, plus consultations with key stakeholders. It summarises the conditions in the education system, the methodology used to formulate the research agenda, and eight priority themes the ERICC team will focus on in the Lebanese context.
