Abstract:
The article is structured into five parts. The first part explains the concept of education in emergencies (EiE) and highlights the challenge of applying it in countries with a fragile education system, particularly in Africa. The second part emphasizes the humanitarian foundation of EiE and recognizes the efforts of international organizations and United Nations agencies in promoting and developing the sector. The third part discusses the quality aspects of EiE, while the fourth part explores curricular choices and potential innovations. Collaboration between national authorities and international organizations is essential for progress in the field, and the choice of language of instruction can be a contentious issue. Finally, the fifth part briefly summarizes the various contributions to the special issue and draws some concluding remarks.
