Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises, and Early Reconstruction

Abstract

The Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction are both a handbook and an expression of commitment, developed through a broad process of collaboration, that all individuals - children, youth and adults - have a right to education during emergencies. They echo the core beliefs of the Sphere Project: that all possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of calamity and conflict, and that people affected by disaster have a right to life with dignity.
