INEE Minimum Standards for Education, 2024 Edition
Since 2004, the INEE Minimum Standards for Education: Preparedness, Response, Recovery (INEE MS) have provided a framework for inclusive and equitable quality education. The purpose of the handbook is:
- To improve the quality of education preparedness, response, and recovery;
- To increase access to safe and relevant learning opportunities;
- To ensure that the actors who provide these services are held accountable.
The INEE MS are designed to be applicable to crisis response in many different situations, including emergencies caused by conflict, by natural hazards such as those induced by climate change, and slow- and rapid-onset crises in both rural and urban environments.
This updated version of the INEE MS reflects new learning, evidence, perspectives, and evolving needs within a changing humanitarian-development landscape. It ensures that the Standards remain relevant, accessible, and adaptable, and continue to support education stakeholders everywhere.
This third edition has been realized through the dedicated engagement of more than 1,600 individuals across 35 countries, representing diverse contexts and experiences. INEE wishes to thank the many individuals and organizations who collaborated on the INEE MS, 2024 Edition.
