CPMS Standard 23: Education and Child Protection

Children are amongst the most vulnerable in humanitarian crises. Providing them with a safe passage to school and a protected place to receive an education is critical to their current and future well-being.

In humanitarian settings, there are many links between Child Protection and Education. Children out of school are more vulnerable to protection risks; conversely, child protection concerns can prevent children from accessing education and decrease their educational outcomes.

By strengthening collaboration between Education in Emergencies and Child Protection actors, we can build stronger, more effective programs that help mitigate protection risks and improve educational outcomes for every child.
