BASIC EDUCATION
2.0 Introduction
Education in Emergency (EiE) is a program recommended by International Network for Education in Emergency (INEE) as a critical part of effective response to situations of displacements due to human/natural hazard induced disasters leading to disruption in regular school activities. It has been established that interruption of Basic Education even for a short period can drastically affect cognitive memory, reduce learning and further expose children to psycho-social trauma. Level of preparedness will help to reduce the impact of emergencies on children. When properly implemented, EiE can also motivate affected population to commence livelihood activities and reduce tension within camp environment.
2.1 Sectoral Objective
- To ensure that children’s education is not disrupted.
- To ensure that children are occupied meaningfully to avoid restiveness and fit easily into the general academic programme of the communities after the camping period.
2.2 Operational Objectives
