MoE updates.. Exams? Deputy Minister confirmed all exam attempts by IDPs will be counted as 1 st attempt Recognition of last 2 years of learning? Federal MoE has confirmed that although they won’t accredit any learning that took place under ISIS, they will place IDPs in grades according to their age. So if a child is 13 when they are displaced from Mosul, they will be placed into the Grade for their current age, and if they cannot achieve or fail assessments, they’ll put them down a grade. = Key EiE activity for Cluster partners = Remedial classes ALPs? It has been initially agreed by Minister that the MoE’s Accelerated Learning Programme can be used in the special case of Mosul. However, because this is formal education it can only be delivered by qualified Federal MoE teachers following the official ALPs curricula. Currently only Grade 1 – 6 ALPs exists, but UNICEF is working on getting Grade 7 – 9 condensed too. = Key EiE activity for Cluster partners = Quick identification of MoE teachers among the displaced communities; Training of MoE teachers on how to deliver ALPs (there is a MoE Teacher Training package); Printing of ALPs curricula.

Federal MoE New Federal MoE arrangement in Cluster meetings. The Deputy Minister has assigned the DG Planning (who is also in the Emergency Cell) to Skype into the meeting each fortnight, but can delegate this to Dr Wahid, the OiC at the Federal MoE in Erbil. CC to have a call with Deputy Minister each fortnight to raise any high level issues that need input from him or the Minister – Partners to contact CC with any high-level issues or questions that need to be raised with Deputy Minister and Minister

Funding Update! The IHPF (Pooled Fund) 2 nd round allocation is coming up soon.. Probably 25% of the fund can be used for unfunded HRP EiE projects (e.g. Debaga, KRG, Haweeja, etc), and the rest (75%) can be for Mosul preparedness / response EiE projects

Mosul Complete Quadrant plans for all Clusters were presented to the HC, HCT and donors this weekend. Key advocacy messages have been given to the Government and donors, including: – need for funds to start arriving for partners to apply for – need for GoI/KRG to provide land for camps to be urgently built on (Q1) – need for more civ-mil liaison to coordinate access – Fast-streaming for visas, customs, clearance, NGO registration, etc – Donors to be flexible on project locations, so NGOs can change quickly/easily depending on needs

Mosul What funding applications have partners submitted so far? What funding applications are partners planning to submit? For where? Partner updates on their Mosul preparedness

Avoiding duplication for Mosul Please do inform Education Cluster where your proposals are for so we can track and avoid duplication Difficult for the Education Cluster to track gaps and duplication of EiE, as the proposals aren’t coming through the cluster for review / approval… – In order to be able to coordinate the whole response, the Cluster needs to know where organisations are applying for, so that Debaga doesn’t end up with 10 EiE projects and Baiji has 0!! Also, please ask your donors to be flexible – if duplication is identified, partners need to be able to move planned project locations

Avoiding duplication for Mosul Quadrant?Location?Partner who submitted funding application? Donor & amount of $$?
