This report, the fifth annual education report from UNHCR, predicts that unless the international community takes immediate and bold steps against the catastrophic effects of COVID-19 on refugee education, the potential of millions of young refugees living in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities will be further threatened.

Special report: An NRC investigation finds that the fear of Covid-19 is leading to an alarming rise in stress levels amongst refugee and displaced children in the Middle East.

This report spotlights one particular vulnerability that is known to be exacerbated by school closures in times of crisis and risks the continued education of vulnerable children: teenage pregnancy, which threatens to block a million girls across Sub-Saharan Africa from returning to school.

With this report, Save the Children aims to assess how children have been affected since the beginning of the so-called ‘refugee crisis’. We look at five key themes: protection at Europe’s outer borders; immigration detention; access to asylum and residency; family reunification; and guardianship.

This Toolkit was designed for school leaders to support and protect teachers and education support staff in the return to school following COVID-19 related closures. While aimed primarily at school leaders, the Toolkit is also potentially useful for teachers and education support staff to better understand their roles and responsibilities in back-to-school efforts.

This template can be used and tailored to fit different levels of advocacy campaigns, events, and products. Depending on the scale, not all sections will be required. Ideally this template will be discussed and completed in a face-to-face workshop or completed and shared for comment by a team.

This document summarises the findings of the report Protecting Children in Armed Conflict, led by Shaheed Fatima QC (published in 2018 by Hart/ Bloomsbury), and produced for the Inquiry on Protecting Children in Conflict, chaired by Gordon Brown. Theirworld, Save the Children Fund and the Global Health Academy at the University of Edinburgh have supported the work of the Inquiry. 

This paper analyses a range of literature reviews to identify characteristics of effective teacher education.

This note is intended to provide additional insights for education cluster coordinators on the potential uses of CVA for EiE in the current COVID-19 pandemic response under the GHRP COVID-19.

This policy brief series draws from a series of intergenerational dialogues on gender and education in crisis.

The government of Uganda has imposed a lockdown as a pre-emptive measure to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Even with a gradual, phased return, the majority of Uganda’s youth remain in their homes. This has meant missed learning opportunities and led to a rise in rates of violence against children (VAC) in their homes and communities.

The CP-EiE Collaboration framework supports Education and CP coordination teams’ predictable and coherent collaboration throughout the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC). At each step of the HPC, it provides steps to strengthen CP-EiE collaboration, promising collaboration practices from country coordination groups, and tools and resources to support collaboration.

Policymakers in low-income countries face an apparently impossible dilemma: keeping schools closed will create catastrophic learning loss, while reopening may be highly dangerous and unacceptable to parents and teachers. We argue that there is a way of dealing with this dilemma, and that the choice is not, in fact, quite so binary. There is a middle way. 

This paper summarizes the recent UNICEF analysis on investing in early childhood education in developing countries. It provides a benefit-cost analysis of investments in pre-primary education in 109 developing low- and middle-income countries and territories, using data from 2008 to 2019.

The Gender Responsive Pedagogy Teacher Training (GRPTT) pack integrates gender equality into child-centered teacher professional development. The pack is adaptable to multiple contexts and is designed to provide practical solutions for teachers in low-resource environments. 

Children in humanitarian settings face a double crisis as the health emergency disrupts their opportunities to learn, develop and thrive. Ensuring children can continue to learn during the pandemic, no matter their access to technology, must be central to the COVID-19 response in fragile contexts. 

This webinar - part of our COIVD-19 webinar series -  highlighted how EiE practitioners can harness the arts to enhance the COVID-19 response.

The guide provides targeted inputs to ensure continuity of learning during school closures, and comprehensive, timely and evidence-based plans for reopening schools in a way that is safe, gender-responsive and child-friendly, and meets the needs of the most marginalised girls

This web event — part of our COVID-19 webinar series — highlighted how EiE practitioners can use “learning through play” approaches during COVID-19 response and recovery.

This research brief is one of a series exploring the effects of COVID-19 on education. It focuses on how school closures affect children and the resiliency of education systems to respond to such disruptions and mitigate their effects
