Achieving Education for All: Good Practice in Crisis and Post-Conflict Reconstruction. A Handbook for Education Policy Makers and Practitioners in Commonwealth Countries

The publication reviews selected African experiences of education in conflict situations, natural disasters and other difficult circumstances. It elaborates on the role education plays before emergencies occur - including its presence as a factor of exclusion - during crisis situations and the ensuing responses, afterwards in recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation. This practical guide is intended to foster better understanding of the complex issues and options that exist in decision-making; to share best practice in addressing situations arising from conflict, emergencies, and difficult circumstances; and to mitigate the effects on schooling while fostering a climate of tolerance, gender equality and diversity.
