Diploma in Education in Emergencies
Course Overview
Conflicts, disasters caused by natural hazards and pandemics keep millions of children out of school and the numbers are rising. In crisis-affected countries, school-age children are more than twice as likely to be out of school as their peers in other countries.
Education is a critical component of emergency response. Children need continuous access to quality education opportunities to stay safe and learn effectively. It is essential that those responding to crises have the knowledge and technical expertise to appropriately plan for and implement education in emergencies interventions. To contribute to building this capacity we are offering training on.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to:
Understand the fundamental concepts and principles of education in emergencies.
Analyze the impact of emergencies on educational systems and learners.
Develop and implement effective teaching strategies for diverse and multicultural classrooms in emergency contexts.
Design and manage education programs that address the specific needs of learners in crisis situations.
Engage in policy formulation and advocacy to support education in emergencies.
