Description
Summary:This note provides practical guidance to national governments about key priorities for the education sector following a major disaster or crisis. It specifies a set of considerations and actions to help ensure that the education sector can: (1) maintain its core functions in the midst of a crisis; (2) allow for streamlined recovery from shocks; (3) minimize disaster and conflict risks; and (4) improve the sector’s adaptation and resilience to future crises. This guidance note specifies three distinct phases - disaster response, recovery, and preparedness. There are multiple levels and entry points throughout the disaster cycle during which decision makers must assume their roles and responsibilities. As such, it is vital to understand how a respective phase is informed by, informs, and interacts within and across other phases and domains of action.
