For this study, UNICEF Education Program Officers (EPOs) from nearly 60 countries answered questions about Life Skills, peace education, gender, reading and writing skills, and learning outcomes in national curricula.
This study looks at coordination dynamics through two situations: coordination for a country (Sierra Leone in the 1990s) and coordination for refugee camps (Rwandan refugees in Ngara District, Tanzania). This Occasional Paper # 140 is one of the final publications by the Humanitarianism and War Project at the Watson Institute at Brown University.
This version of the TEP offers a one year programme with the assistance of locally recruited teachers, who, in some cases, are non-qualified before training. The intention is to provide children with basic learning skills so that they can enter or be reintegrated into normal school activity.

These documents are informed by the principle of inclusion, by recognition of the need to work towards “schools for all” - institutions which include everybody, celebrate differences, support learning, and respond to individual needs. As such, they constitute an important contribution to the agenda for achieving Education for All and for making schools educationally more effective.
This partial and preliminary resource document has been produced by UNESCO as a contribution to the United Nations Year for Tolerance, 1995, and to the launching of the proposed United Nations decade for human rights education.
