What do your children need during a crisis? Apart from the basic necessities such as water, food, and shelter, we need to make an effort to provide youth with the education they need. Children living in areas experiencing crises are forced to stop studying. In worse cases, they are even taught to use firearms instead.

International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention (IJHSSI) is an international journal intended for professionals and researchers in all fields of Humanities and Social Science. IJHSSI publishes research articles and reviews within the whole field Humanities and Social Science, new teaching methods, assessment, validation and the impact of new technologies and it will continue to provide information on the latest trends and developments in this ever-expanding subject. The publications of papers are selected through double peer reviewed to ensure originality, relevance, and readability. The articles published in our journal can be accessed online.
Public schools, by law, must serve all children. The education of undocumented students is guaranteed by the Plyler vs. Doe decision, and certain procedures must be followed when registering immigrant children in school to avoid violation of their civil rights. This eBook describes students' rights and resources for families and school personnel.
“Role of the human value to improve the situation to protect the future of child (6 to 14 years).”
Child Labour is the practice of having children engage in economic activity, on a part- or full-time basis. The practice deprives children of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental development . Poverty , lack of good schools and the growth of the informal economy are considered to be the key causes of child labour in India.
Child labour is a persisting social evil . A well nourished child is priceless asset of a nation . A child should be facilitated to grow in multiple dimensions to attain the physical and mental fitness . The society and the government have responsibility to create conducive environment for the healthy growth of a child.
The complex issue of child labour is a developmental issue worth investigating.
The notion that children are being exploited and forced into labour while not receiving education crucial to development , concerns many people . India is the largest example of a nation plagued by the problem of child labour.
Child labour is a source of income for poor families.
The present status report includes issues of rights to survival and development, these being health, early childhood development and education. A major section is devoted to child protection since the issues to be addressed are far too many. While there is a chapter dedicated to violence against children, separate chapters deal with child sexual abuse, juvenile justice, child labour and trafficking. The last two years have seen large scale de-housing of children and their families. As an addition this time we have included a section on right to adequate housing as it is a right that cuts across survival, development and protection issues. Given that a large number of children are growing in situations of emergency – human made or natural, it was critical to address their situation separately. Even as we write this report a new disaster has struck the country. Thousands have died or been rendered homeless in Jammu & Kashmir due to the earthquake. The rights of the disabled child have always been marginalised. But since little has changed since our last report, we have addressed issues of disability in the chapters on health and education.

Child Abuse was and continues to be, one of the most heinous crimes designed and perpetuated by human beings against some of the most vulnerable and defenceless sections of the community. It is a malaise on a society that prides itself on the rule of law, democracy and the various freedoms enshrined in the Constitution. Globally, it has been recognised and seen as a particularly burdensome challenge, and numerous instruments, 1 from the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1924 to the United Nations 2 Convention on the Rights of the Child and the The Stockholm Declaration and Agenda for 3 Action have called upon nation States to create and enhance Child Protection Systems to ensure that “in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”.

Thrilled to announce I've been awarded Fist Place in Roger William University's 2017 Advanced Writing Contest for my policy report “Children & Lunch-Shaming: America’s Neglected Stain."
Lunch-Shaming in America is not often talked about or understood, but has become an increasing problem for the esteem and development of America's children. Children are being wrongfully stigmatized for their family's finances by being denied the same lunch as their peers, receiving a stamp saying "Need Lunch Money", or being forced to perform chores for their lunch.
School lunch companies and school administrations should not be able to stigmatize 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders for something their parents need to deal with.
If any of this makes you sad/angry/annoyed, please feel free to read my report, Children & Lunch Shaming: America's Neglected Stain, and let me know your thoughts!
At Education Cannot Wait, we believe in a world where all children and youth affected by crises can learn free of cost, in safety and without fear in order to grow and reach their full potential.
An estimated 75 million girls and boys have limited or no access to education due to crisis and conflicts around the globe. That’s more than the total population of Canada, Denmark and the Netherlands combined. It is urgent to invest in their education now to safeguard their future. This is an investment in girls and boys living in some of the harshest and most dangerous conditions on the planet. It is also an investment in stronger societies, in more resilient economies, in the end of poverty and hunger, and in a brighter future for generations to come.

165 miljoen kinderen zijn wereldwijd chronisch ondervoed. Dit zorgt niet alleen voor kind dat sterft als gevolg van ondervoeding, elke 15 seconden, het heeft ook als gevolg dat kinderen daar de rest van hun leven onder lijden. Het is een groot probleem maar er zijn ook grote kansen om dit probleem aan te pakken

6 Important Survival Lessons I Learned as a ScoutRising S Company
Signing up as a boy/girl scout is one of the best ways to learn about survival tactics and prepping at an early age. You get to immerse yourself in the wilderness as well as learn various skills. As one grows older, however, there’s a good chance that he or she will forget these learnings. But that won’t do! Here are the best survival lessons you’ll learn from being a scout:
“Don’t fight from your front porch.” It’s an advice that’s being thrown around the internet very often lately, but does it hold any actual value? Generally speaking, it depends. There are quite a few ways to interpret the advice, and each interpretation will prove to be useful in varying situations. Here’s what preppers need to know:
Are you going on a camping trip? The gear and equipment you’ll have to bring will depend on a case-by-case basis. For example, one going hiking in the mountains may not need to bring the same things that someone going fishing in a lake will. However, there are exceptions. Here are three survival items outdoorsmen should always have with them:
When stranded and lost in an unknown area with very limited resources, one might be tempted to eat the very first living thing they see. This is understandable, but if ever placed in that kind of perilous situation, you need to control yourself. Eating something poisonous or inedible will do more harm than good.
Is it possible to survive a cheetah attack? It’d be difficult, but not impossible. Humans are much faster and stronger than humans, so the only way to beat them is to use your wits. Know what the animal’s weak points are, understand the psychology behind their attacks, and make the most of everything you have at your disposal.
14 foods to keep in your bunker to survive the apocalypseRising S Company
What are in your bunker’s food stash? Note that not all common household foods would work in a crisis situation. To ensure survival, you need to stock up on foods with a very long shelf life. These include nuts, canned goods, uncooked rice, dried beans, and energy bars. Meanwhile, for food flavoring, you can rely on sides like honey and peanut butter.
Soap is the single most effective, inexpensive item you can use to remove all kinds of viruses and bacteria on your skin. No amount of hand sanitizers and alcohol can compete with a bar of soap. They are also one of the first items to be phased out during a serious crisis. Luckily, you can make your own batch at home using only two ingredients!
25 CAR EMERGENCY KIT “MUST HAVES” TO RULE ANY ROADRising S Company
What do you keep in your car? Every prepper knows the possible accidents that can happen to you while driving. It could range anywhere from something small like a flat tire to a major accident like driving into a lake. Whatever the case, you should always be prepared. Here are some of the things you should always have in your car:
If there’s anything the recent COVID-19 pandemic taught us, it’s that business owners should not solely rely on one source of income. Now that things are slowly getting back to normal, it might be a good time to venture into a new business. But this time around, choose an essential business that is guaranteed recession-proof. Some examples are:
Apart from protecting yourself physically, you need to keep your finances safe as well. But with the pandemic negatively affecting almost all sectors and industries, where are you supposed to keep your money? The best strategy is to divide your assets into different investment vehicles, and one of them should be stocks. Here are some recession-proof industries to invest your money in
Don’t underestimate the importance of a fully equipped first-aid kit. In a crisis situation, these tools, equipment, and medication will be your first line of defense against urgent injuries or complications. Having a complete first-aid kit on hand can spell the difference between life and death. With that in mind, remember to stock your emergency bag with these items:
Billionaire Bunker Owners Are Preparing For The Ultimate Underground EscapeRising S Company
Still on the fence on whether you should invest in a bunker or not? While the majority of the population is at home wondering what to watch next on Netflix, the rich and powerful are busy creating escape routes and underground bunkers. They’re doing what they can to ensure they can maintain their luxury lifestyle even if the current pandemic takes a turn for the worse.
Unlike with the coronavirus pandemic, you won’t always have enough time or resources to stock up on your essentials during a crisis. That’s why you need to have a kit filled with basic necessities on hand at all times. Are you prepared for any natural calamity or disaster that might hit you? Here’s a checklist of what you’ll need:
Are you ready in case of an emergency? Nutrition Diva breaks down what should (and shouldn't) be in your emergency food supply kit, including what to have on hand during a viral outbreak or pandemic.
It’s extremely important to confirm your water has been purified or treated before drinking. If your water is contaminated and you don’t have bottled water, there are various water purification methods that are used today, and each method has its merits and demerits. Filtering is good for basic water tasks such as sediment and chlorine removal, but in the long run reverse osmosis is the best option. At Schultz Soft Water we focus on reverse osmosis units because they require a lot less energy and time required to make water versus distillation.
This course focuses on managing life’s transitions and major events. Because the effects can be wide-ranging with respect to your financial planning and your well-being (and the well-being of your dependents), SAM suggests using these guiding principles as a backdrop for making decisions during periods of transition:
The pandemic has urged thousands of people all across the globe to prepare for the worst by investing in a bunker. In fact, experts report that the market is currently at an all-time high. So if you don’t have an emergency bunker yet, now’s the best time to get one! Don’t wait for things to take a turn for the worse.
What are NBC filters? They are air filtration systems that protect you from nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) threats. They were originally developed for naval vessels but are now available for use in survival bunkers. Rising S Company’s NBC filtration system can supply fresh, safe air for up to 15 people per bunker
A panic room may be your family’s most significant source of protection during these uncertain times. This room is fully equipped with the necessities for survival plus fortified to withstand any outside attack. You can also customize it further to improve its form and function. It is your safe retreat from emergencies such as intruders, severe weather conditions, or a terrorist attack. Check it out here:

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. 1
When children living in crisis are asked what
they need most, time and time again they tell
us they want to continue their education:
• According to 16 studies from eight
organisations1
covering 17 different
emergencies – ranging from conflict
to protracted crises and disasters –
reflecting the voices of 8,749 children,
99% of children in crisis situations see
education as a priority.2
• In eight studies surveying 4,713 children
in nine emergency-affected countries
where children were asked to rank
their needs in order of priority, 38% of
children identified education as their
first priority, and for 69% of children,
education was among their three
most highly prioritised sectors.
Children affected by crisis clearly prioritise
education, alongside other essential needs such
as food and livelihoods. Yet, the international
community consistently fails to answer their call.
Instead, education is regularly under-prioritised
in humanitarian responses and is significantly
underfunded by humanitarian donors.3
This lack
of priority and funding has left at least 28.5 million
primary school-aged children living in conflict-
affected countries without an education. They now
disproportionately constitute half of the world’s
out-of-school children.4
WHY WE NEED TO LISTEN
TO WHAT CHILDREN WANT
Listening to what children in crisis have to say is not
only a moral and ethical responsibility for donor and
humanitarian actors, it is also a humanitarian obligation.
Children’s right to participation is recognised in the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child (UNCRC), which provides rights for children to
express their views and ‘be heard and taken seriously’.
Being accountable to the needs and priorities of
affected populations in time of crisis is also a key
principle of humanitarian action. As provided in
the Commitments on Accountability to Affected
Populations,5
the views of people affected by crisis
must be actively sought and they must be involved in
decision-making processes that affect them.
Consulting children about their needs and priorities
in times of emergency and crisis should therefore be
an imperative of humanitarian action. The UNCRC
also enshrines children’s right to an education – so
when they tell us that they want their right to an
education prioritised, we need to listen.
Children can also demand their right to be heard as
one of the largest constituency groups living in crisis.
It is estimated that 403 million school-aged children
live in 35 crisis-affected countries6
– one-third of the
1.5 billion people who live in fragile and crisis-affected
contexts.7
The proportion of children living in crisis is
likely to be much higher if we consider that children
make up 50% of populations in 17 of the world’s
developing countries,8
that 51% of the 19.5 million
refugees worldwide are under 18 years old,9
and that
875 million children live in high seismic zones with
the education of 175 million children likely to be
affected by disaster – including landslides, floods and
recurring, smaller-scale emergencies – every year.10
WHAT CHILDREN TELL US
THEY WANT IN TIMES OF
emergency and CRISIS
4. WE CAN’T WAIT FOR
OUR EDUCATION
“We don’t want delay. If we delay, we
will remain behind.”
15-year-old boy, South Sudan
Children are fully aware of the transformative
power that education can have on their lives. They
understand that education is the key to their future
and their hopes for a better life. Being economically
self-reliant as adults seems to be a key concern for
children who want a stable life. They see education
as providing them with the skills to achieve their
dreams. Children affected by emergencies also see
education as a means to help them better cope in
future crises and to rebuild their lives as well as their
countries. For example, children often say education
will help them enter professions linked with helping
others or resolving the crisis they are experiencing11
– such as doctors, nurses, teachers, leaders, lawyers
or judges.
“I want to be a magistrate. All those
people who have done wrong will have
to come to my court. If they’re guilty,
I will judge them and send them to jail.
When I finish school that’s what I’m
going to do.”
Angela,* 12, Central African Republic (CAR)
WHY CHILDREN WANT THEIR
EDUCATION TO CONTINUE IN
TIMES OF EMERGENCY AND CRISIS
“Every day I come to school.
I never miss it! Apart from at
the weekend but that is because
it’s closed then. I’m not afraid
to come to school. This is one
of the only places I feel safe.”

7. whatdochildrenwantintimesofemergencyandcrisis?
Children recognise the link between a lapse in their
education and the impact this can have on their
future. They regularly voice delay in their education
as a key concern from the early stages of a crisis.
Children can perceive time differently to adults and
a few months out of school may seem like a much
longer period of time to them. This means children
tend to feel particularly anxious about any period
of time they are out of school and the learning they
are missing out on. They fear they will not be able to
catch up and start to worry that the longer schools
are closed, the more likely they are to forget what
they previously learned. In Sierra Leone, during
the Ebola crisis, children said they felt they were
becoming “backward”.12
It is no surprise that children regularly say they
cannot wait for their education. In the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC), 95% of the children
consulted13
said they wanted education to
restart as soon as possible. When asked at what
point an emergency education response should
be provided, 49.2% of children in South Sudan
replied “Straightaway.”14
WE ARE PROTECTED
WHEN WE ARE IN SCHOOL
Crises can lead to children being in unstable situations
where they are less supervised, either because
they are separated from or have lost a caregiver,
or because their family is absent for longer periods
of time than normal, either trying to find work or
working longer hours. Children in these situations say
schools are places where they feel safe and protected.
In Dollo Allo refugee camp, in Ethiopia, child
protection workers recognised that education was
particularly important for unaccompanied children
arriving at the camp as school immediately provided
them with a secure environment.15
“I sometimes feel safer at school than
when I’m not.”
16-year-old boy, South Sudan
When out of school, children often stress that they
have nothing to do, no hope for the future, and are
left to roam alone. Education helps them stay off
the street and protects them from harm. Children
“Those were the worst days
of my life. It was horrible
being away from home with
no food and no friends.
Now I feel good that I can
go to school and resume my
studies, and have a place to
play. So I feel very happy.”

surveyed in Sierra Leone,16

associated being out of school with
getting involved in high-risk activities such as crime
or addiction.
“When we’re not in school we have
freedom to do something wrong.”
10-year-old, South Sudan
In times of emergency and crisis, children are
acutely aware of the impact disaster has on their
families’ income-generating ability. For example,
after Typhoon Haiyan, children expressed worries
about their fathers not being able to fish and said
they were “scared they wouldn’t be able to go back
to school”.19
In the aftermath of the earthquakes in
Nepal, children have said that the increased burden
of fetching water, helping their parents build shelters
and other tasks is preventing them from studying.20
In such situations, children often feel a pull to take
on new responsibilities to help their families.
“With Yolanda [Typhoon Haiyan],
children are forced to mature and will
prioritise activities that will make the
family survive first.”
Adolescent boy, Philippines
The lack of educational opportunities can lead
children to lose hope in the future. They are also
more likely to look for work, especially if they
have nothing to do when schools are closed. While
child labour existed before the crisis, children in
South Sudan said one of the reasons why they were
working was because the schools were closed or
they had shorter school days.21
“Before Ebola, I never sold anything
because I was going to school. Now I’m
a trader.”
Adolescent boy, Sierra Leone
Children who are out of school during times of
crisis are also more vulnerable to recruitment by
armed groups. Children regularly report that schools
can protect them from this practice. Although
schools are not always immune from the risk of
recruitment, teachers and educational personnel
can act as a deterrent to armed groups wanting to
target children. In the DRC, where 33,000 former
child soldiers have been demobilised but where child
recruitment is still prevalent,22
more than 90% of
boys interviewed believed that being in school made
them less likely to be targeted by forced recruitment
or to voluntarily join armed groups.23
“When the militia took me, I wasn’t in
school because my parents had died. I
was in the village – this is where they
take you.”
Adolescent boy, DRC
Children living in crisis situations are also at greater
risk of sexual and gender-based violence and
exploitation. Children who are out of school – and
girls in particular – are even more at risk because
they are likely to be unsupervised, especially when
they travel alone or are working. In the DRC, 90% of
the girls interviewed reported sexual and gender-
based violence as their principal concern and a key
risk they were facing.24
They said that education
could shield them from this risk.
“In the village or camp, girls can be
raped. The armed groups can come and
rape, or make you go with them to be
their wife. When I’m at school I feel
protected from this because they don’t
come here.”
13-year-old girl, DRC
In South Sudan, girls and their families reported that
schools were protecting them from sexual violence.25
In Nepal, girls in particular have reported feeling
more vulnerable to sexual exploitation and abuse,
and there are fears that if children cannot return
to school pre-existing problems of child labour,
trafficking, forced prostitution and sexual and gender-
based violence may increase.26
“Before Ebola, I concentrated on my
school work. But now men are sexually
harassing me because I’m always at home.”
Teenage girl, Sierra Leone
In times of emergency and crisis, girls who are not in
school are also vulnerable to forced or early marriage.
As families’ livelihood options become restricted and
financial pressures increase, parents may deprioritise
girls’ education and withdraw their daughters from
school to take over domestic responsibilities while
they work more or look for work. As parents’ ways
of coping diminish, they may also try to marry a
daughter early to relieve the family’s financial burdens
or to provide for their daughter’s future. Children
and their families often report an increase in early
marriage and teenage pregnancy during crisis and
see this as a consequence of girls not attending
school. In Sierra Leone, children reported in two
assessments that they thought girls were more likely

“On Monday the rebels came
into the school. They didn’t
like the way some of the girls
were dressed. They yelled
at us, saying that what we
were wearing wasn’t good. It
made me scared. They broke
our desks, destroyed our
schoolbooks and our things.
I didn’t want them to destroy
our things. I didn’t like what
they were doing at all. School
is supposed to be a place
where we learn things.”
Sita,* 12, Mali

10. whatdochildrenwantintimesofemergencyandcrisis?
to get pregnant if they were not occupied or in a safe
environment like that provided by school.27
In times of
crisis, girls often see marriage as their only option for
the future. For example, in the Ebola context, teenage
girls reported that they wanted to start their own
families due to losing hope in school reopening and a
sense that their future options were dwindling.28
“We’ve lost our focus on school work.
That’s why most of our friends have
become pregnant. Many girls think that
schools will not re-open and Ebola will
never end so that’s why they’ve started
creating their own families.”
Teenage girl, Sierra Leone
WE WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL
WITHOUT FEAR
While children recognise that being in school helps
protect them, it is important to highlight that in some
contexts, particularly active conflicts, like Syria, or
high disaster-prone areas, like Nepal, children first
and foremost want to feel safe in school before they
continue their learning.
Across the world and particularly in conflict-affected
areas, education is increasingly under attack and
schools, students and teachers are often targeted by
armed groups. In Syria, where 68 attacks on schools
were reported in 2014 and at least quarter of schools
have been destroyed or damaged as a result of the
conflict, children said they valued protection (81%)
over education (12%), but their reason for this was
because they felt they needed to be safe to be able
to go to school.29
In the same assessment, parents
said they forbade their children from going to school
to avoid risks while travelling to school or at school
and because their children said schools were
unsafe places.30
“One day I was walking to school and
suddenly they started attacking the
school. […] I rushed back home quickly
because I was scared, but most of my
friends were already in school and that
day ten children died. After this incident
children stopped going to school and
then the school closed, so we couldn’t
continue our education.”
Alia,* 9, Syria
“I was in class when my
school was hit. We ran
out of the school right
away and I went back
home, but my uncle went
to the school and found
out that many children
had been injured. I’ve
never seen my school or
my friends again. I miss
them a lot.”
Basma,* 8, Syria

Children living in disaster-prone countries are also
at high risk of injury and death, especially when they
are learning in poorly constructed schools. Since
2001, more than 22,000 schools were destroyed
during major hazard events because they were
not built to be disaster resilient. Since 2004, over
28,000 children have been killed in schools due to
poor construction.31
In the 2005 Pakistan earthquake
alone, a staggering 17,000 schoolchildren were killed
and 50,000 injured.32
“I remember watching my children go
down this road. They didn’t return.”
Father, Pakistan
The impact of disasters on poorly constructed
schools can have serious consequences on children’s
access to education in the years that follow. In
Pakistan for example, only 20% of schools have been
rebuilt in the ten years since the earthquake struck.
“I have been studying here [in a tent in
Pakistan] all the way through. When I
was small I remember vaguely that we
used to huddle like this in tents. Now
we are in Class 6, but we still study in
tents. How can we study?”
Adolescent girl, Pakistan
It is no wonder that on seeing the impact of
disasters on their schools, children often report
being too scared to go back, especially if they think
their schools are unsafe and prone to collapse. This
is happening in Nepal, where nearly 7,000 schools
were destroyed or significantly damaged in the recent
earthquakes. Children are reporting that although
they want to return to school, they are afraid to
return to schools that are not “earthquake resistant”.
After the Haiti earthquake, children also emphasised
that they were afraid of being in school “due to the
risk of aftershocks and flooding” because they had
seen their school collapse and kill four students.33
“I don’t feel like going to the school
because buildings are damaged
completely and it looks scary.”
Young girl, Nepal
Children also say they want to know how to cope
better in the event of another disaster and how to
protect themselves from increased risks.34
As we
have seen during the Ebola outbreak, children also
see schools as unsafe in times of a health crisis and
want to know how to better protect themselves and
continue learning. In Sierra Leone, many children
expressed their fear of going back to school due
to risks of catching Ebola through physical contact
with their friends and because of the lack of hygiene
facilities in the school.35
“I’m scared to return to school because
I don’t know the status of my friends,
and I worry that I will catch Ebola and
make my family sick.”
Young boy, Sierra Leone
WE FEEL BETTER WHEN
WE’RE IN SCHOOL
A crisis has a significant negative effect on children’s
emotional wellbeing. Crises create unstable situations
for children, who may be displaced, be separated
from family or caregivers, or lose their homes.
Many may have witnessed violence and experienced
traumatic events. Children living in active conflicts
like Syria, feel as though they are under continual
threat and live in a constant state of fear, or in
disaster prone areas, like Nepal, no longer feel that
their schools are safe. In these situations, children
will feel distressed and anxious, and sometimes suffer
deep psychological impact, especially if they do not
receive the right support. Parents will most likely
also be suffering from anxiety and stress and may be
unable to adequately support their children as they
would in normal circumstances.
Being in school can help children recover from shock
and trauma and cope with their stress and anxiety.
In school they can receive dedicated psychosocial
support or class time can be adapted to assist
their recovery through play and creative activities.
Children regularly said school provided them
with a place to learn and play, and to forget about
traumatic issues.
“Someone who has gone to school can
control their anger and emotions. […]
Uneducated children are less able to
cope with trauma.”
15-year-old boy, South Sudan
Children also clearly recognise that being back
in school can make them feel better. In a recent
assessment in the Central African Republic,
75–90% of children affected by the most recent
12. Save the Children is supporting the
setting up of temporary learning
centres and child-friendly spaces
throughout Nepal so that children
have the space and support they need
to play, recover and access education
while schools are rebuilt and repaired.

crisis reported that what they needed most was
psychosocial support and to go back to school.36
After the Haiti earthquake, children wanted schools
to reopen because they believed it would bring a
sense of normalcy to their lives and they would
receive psychosocial support.37
“If you don’t go back to school
straightaway, you still feel sad.”
10-year-old boy, South Sudan
Schools are also places where children can learn
how to react and protect themselves in times of
crisis, which helps them manage their anxiety in
uncertain or unstable situations. In the DRC, children
explained that education was helping them to protect
themselves against risks they could potentially face.38
“Now I’ve studied, it helps me see when
things are dangerous – and if you’ve
studied you can express yourself better,
and that makes you safer, especially if
militia ask you a question.”
15-year-old boy, DRC
Throughout the Asia Pacific region, children also
reported benefiting from their involvement in
risk-reduction and resilience programmes.39
“If children are taught disaster
preparedness, they will bring change in
society as they are the future keepers of
the villages and schools. Children today
will become parents tomorrow, which
will ensure that they pass this knowledge
to their children, making disaster
preparedness a practice, which will be
passed from generation to generation.”
Young child, Sri Lanka
In emergency contexts, healthcare services are
often disrupted or break down, which can make
communities vulnerable to disease. Food insecurity
can also be a major threat. Through school, children
can access essential health services and food. As we
have seen in the Ebola context, children see schools
as places where they can get information about how
to stay healthy and safe.
13. 11
It is not only children who want education
to be prioritised in times of emergency and
crisis. Parents, caregivers and communities
also consider education as an essential need
that should be provided alongside food,
shelter and water.
In North Kivu, DRC, 27% of parents considered
education as their first priority, making it the second
most prioritised need after food. Education was
recognised as the most highly prioritised need by
community leaders (32% of 15 community leaders).40
In Dollo Ado refugee camp, Ethiopia, although parents’
choices were highly influenced by their immediate
context (drought), education was still one of their top
priorities, ranking fourth after water, food and shelter.41
In Haiti, a survey of adults before and after the 2010
earthquake found that although education was not
ranked as a priority before the earthquake, adults
identified it as their second most prioritised need
after the earthquake, and the rebuilding of schools
as their second highest priority for reconstruction
plans.42
In Lebanon, Syrian refugee families report
children’s education as a major concern; when asked
about their worries, “no education for children” was
one of their biggest fears after issues such as poverty,
remaining a refugee and lack of work.43
An assessment
of Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq has
shown that 80% of caregivers identified lack of access
to education as their main source of stress.44
“Both my mum and dad always said that
even if they had to sell water, they’d
always send me to school.”
Sandrise, 16, Haiti
Even when families’ livelihoods are severely
threatened and they are under acute financial
pressure, parents still allocate a portion of the scarce
amount of money they either earn or receive as aid
to ensure their children can still go to school. In
studies analysing unconditional cash transfer schemes
in Haiti, Swaziland and DRC, families often reported
education as the third or fourth highest priority
expenditure, often just after food and livelihoods.45
MAKING SACRIFICES FOR THEIR
CHILDREN’S EDUCATION
Parents may take considerable risks to ensure their
children can access an education. In the DRC, parents
report carrying loads of up to 60kg for a distance
of 10km to earn extra money to send their children
to school.46
Mothers in particular put themselves at
great risk by working in unsafe situations in order to
earn more money.
“The mums will trek all the way into
the forest, where they risk being raped,
to buy cheaper bananas that they can
sell and use the money to send their
children to school.”
Community leader, DRC
There have also been reports of some parents
delaying their exit from Syria so their children could
take end-of-year exams. Others have arranged for
their children to briefly make the trip back to Syria
to sit official exams when they have not been able
to continue their education in host countries. Some
parents have made the risky return to collect the
documentation their children need to enrol in school
in host countries – documents that were left behind
in the rush to escape.47
“I arrived with two of my children
three days ago [June 2012]. My other
two daughters stayed in Damascus
with their father to finish their end-of-
year exams…I am worried about my
husband and two girls but they were
so keen on going back to school that I
couldn’t stop them. I hope they make it
to Lebanon safely.”
Hanane, 33, Lebanon
PARENTS ALSO PRIORITISE
EDUCATION IN TIMES OF
emergency and CRISIS

they can’t have been. No one educated would do these things.”
Stefan,* 15, CAR

15. Children’s anxiety about the impact crisis
has on their education is well founded.
Children in conflict-affected countries are
more than twice as likely to be out of school
than those in other contexts. And, if they
are in school, they are a third less likely to
complete primary school, and 50% less likely
to complete lower secondary education.48
Children are also right to be concerned that being
out of school, even for a short period of time, will
have an impact on their future. The less education
a child receives, the more likely they are to have
limited earning potential and to live in poverty.
This has key multiplier effects in terms of health
and development impacts.49
Less-educated girls
in particular are more likely to become pregnant,
marry early, have more children, and lose more of
their children in infancy – all of which have negative
consequences on their physical and economic
wellbeing.50
Conversely, some economists estimate
that every additional year of schooling a child
receives boosts their future income by 10% and
increases a country’s GDP by 18%.51
Similarly, it is
estimated that if every child learned to read and
write, 171 million people would be lifted out of
poverty, cutting world poverty by 12%.52
As detailed
above, being out of school puts children’s wellbeing
and protection at greater risk in a time of crisis and
they are also more likely to miss out on access to
essential services and life-saving information.
When children do not have safe spaces or the
psychosocial support that school can provide, they
are at risk of not recovering from trauma. This can
have long-term impacts on their emotional well-
being, which will, in turn, affect their productivity and
society at large.
The role that education can play in national and
global peace and stability cannot be underestimated.
The inequalities that come from a lack of access to
quality education can generate a sense of injustice
and grievance and increase the likelihood of conflict.
As recognised by Liberia’s Truth and Reconciliation
Commission, lack of access and unequal access to
education were key contributors to the country’s
civil war.53
“Before I came to school I had the spirit
of an assassin because of what they did
to me. But here I’ve started to become
like a normal person again. The taste
of study made me want to be like I was
before. I’m happy to be here – being
in school has enabled me to get over
that time in the militia by developing
knowledge.”
15-year-old boy, DRC
Conversely, research shows that education can
reduce the likelihood of conflict by increasing
opportunities for young people.54
Without a good
education, children also miss out on learning key
skills that will make them less likely to use violence to
resolve issues and more likely to support democratic
action and accountability as well as respect for
human rights. A survey has also shown that increased
levels of education are linked to increased tolerance
towards other groups.55
“I learnt loads of new skills like the
importance of friendship, cooperation
and patience. Now me and my friends
help other children with the things we
have learned.”
Asiyah, 11, Iraq
THE COST OF FAILING TO
INVEST IN CHILDREN’S
EDUCATION IN TIMES OF
emergency and CRISIS
13
16. 14
Children want to continue their education
in times of emergency and crisis. They are
telling us that it is the key to their future,
their protection, their happiness and their
health – and that it cannot be delayed.
Donors, humanitarian actors and national
governments need to start listening to what children
want. It is time for them to:
• ensure that children can continue to access an
education, and the protection it can provide,
in times of emergency and crisis by prioritising,
funding and delivering education in humanitarian
responses as soon as possible
• ensure that children’s education does not stop
when the humanitarian response is over but
continues as countries recover and rebuild
• reduce the impact of disasters and epidemics on
children’s learning by prioritising and investing
in resilient education systems and safe school
infrastructure, and ensuring that children and
communities know how to prevent and respond
to crisis
• ensure schools are safe places for children by
protecting them from attack, military use and the
impacts of disaster and epidemics
• recognise that a good-quality education response
must provide children with psychosocial support
• support parents to support their children’s
continued education by ensuring that adequate
livelihood and aid assistance is provided.
IT’S TIME TO ACT
“It’s very important to go to school in this camp because
then when I finish my studies I can become a teacher or
a nurse, someone who is great in the nation and can help
rebuild what has been destroyed. If there was no school
I wouldn’t be happy. When I go to school everything I have
gone through starts to disappear in my mind, and I no
longer remember. That’s the goodness of school.”
