The Impact of Emergencies and the Rationale for Education in Emergencies

Learning Objectives At the end of this session, participants will:  Identify the different types of emergency scenarios and describe their impact on children, education systems and communities.  Explain the rationale for education as a first response in emergencies  Be aware of the key international legal instruments and conventions and understand that they underpin learner’s right to education in emergencies INEE and Global Education Cluster

Definition of Emergency UNDMTP (United Nations Disaster Management Training Programme) “A disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of a society, causing widespread human, material, or environmental losses which exceed the ability of affected society to cope using only its own resources. Disasters are often classified according to their speed of onset (sudden or slow), or according to their cause (natural or human-made).” INEE and Global Education Cluster

Types of Emergency  Natural disasters which include hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, cyclones, epidemics, floods, landslides and volcanoes  Man-made disasters, including civil or military unrest, war, occupation, economic crises  Complex emergencies, which combine both natural and man-made emergencies. INEE and Global Education Cluster

Types of Emergencies NaturalManmade Rapid onset Slow onset drought war earthquake terrorist attack cyclone flood famine epidemic volcano chemical spill plane crash civil unrest INEE and Global Education Cluster

Common Elements  Affects people  Triggered by a hazard  Directly related to vulnerability  Exceeds capacity of household, community or group of people to cope  Social processes play an important role  More to do with society than natural phenomena INEE and Global Education Cluster

Hazards, Risks and Vulnerabilities Hazard A physical or human-made event that can potentially trigger a disaster (e.g. earthquakes, mud-slides, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, drought, economic collapse, and war) Vulnerability The susceptibility of people and things to be damaged by a hazard. A person or group’s vulnerability therefore depends on their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from the impact of a hazard. INEE and Global Education Cluster

Risk The likelihood of a disaster happening to a particular group of people - can be estimated by frequency and severity of a hazard when combined with vulnerability and capacity of people to meet that hazard. Risk can therefore be expressed as: Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability INEE and Global Education Cluster

The Impact of Emergencies INEE and Global Education Cluster

Group Exercise 1.Brainstorm as many impacts of natural disasters and conflict (emergencies) that we face in Afghanistan as possible (10 mins) 2.Identify each impact as a result of a: natural disaster conflict both INEE and Global Education Cluster

Categorising the Impact Infrastructure & Materials Effects on Learners Effects on Ed Personnel Other INEE and Global Education Cluster

What is the Impact on Marginalised Groups?  Children with disabilities  Children living in rural areas  Orphans  Street children  Ex-combatants  Child labourers  Ethnic minorities  HIV/AIDS affected  Can be gender based In an emergency marginalisation often increases. Marginalised groups include: INEE and Global Education Cluster

Need for Education in Emergencies INEE and Global Education Cluster

Definition of Education in Emergencies “The provision of quality education opportunities that meet the physical protection, psychosocial, developmental and cognitive needs of people affected by emergencies, which can be both life-sustaining and life-saving “ INEE and Global Education Cluster

What are the unmet needs of children when Education is not prioritised during an Emergency  Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar Ministry of Education did not prioritise education as a first response  Post Election Violence in Kenya Donors did not prioritise education INEE and Global Education Cluster

Consequences for Children  Children and youth neglected, vulnerable to harm and exploitation  Psychosocial impacts exacerbated by lack of safe spaces and opportunities to be with their peers  Cognitive and developmental needs neglected  Likelihood of engaging in unsafe activities increases  Likelihood of dropping out of school increases  Children and youth may be more vulnerable to recruitment by armed groups or armed forces. INEE and Global Education Cluster

In Pakistan Education was Prioritised INEE and Global Education Cluster

Why was Pakistan Different?  All stakeholders prioritised: Donors, Aid agencies, Line ministries, Disaster management departments, Communities, Children  Physical destruction of schools and enormous loss of life of children during school hours created awareness of need for education  Communities supported education  Children and youth wanted to resume education INEE and Global Education Cluster
