"The increase in emergencies worldwide has left millions of children out of school. Education is often neglected in response to emergency situations, not being seen as life-saving. However, schools provide safety giving a constructive alternative to joining the conflict. Education helps to overcome traumatic consequences and learn how to cope in emergency situations. Often a humanitarian phase lasts for years. Years without education mean lost generations, generations that could contribute to rebuilding their countries, and fostering inclusive and resilient societies.
Despite all this, education is one of the most underfunded areas in humanitarian responses. Funding education is not an expense. It is an investment! I welcome Commissioner Stylianides’ commitment to dedicate 4% of the EU humanitarian aid budget to education in emergencies. More however needs to be done. The international community must prioritise it, by increasing humanitarian aid and improving delivery on the ground. Development and humanitarian aid must be bridged to ensure the effectiveness of their programmes in fragile states. It is a human right that should be guaranteed for all children. Especially, in emergency situations. Food, shelter and security are essential, so is education. It gives hope and helps to build a better future."@en1
