This Framing Document defines Save the Children’s approach to Education in Emergencies. It sets out five key principles for EiE to be child-focused, child-rights informed, focussed on children’s wellbeing and learning, the continuity of learning and building back better. It provides a conceptual framework that covers intended outcomes, foundations, components and examples of recommended interventions, in relation to three tiers of Wellbeing, Literacy and Numeracy. It aims to enable readers to understand the impact of emergencies on children’s education, the principles and framework that guide all Save the Children’s EiE responses, and to provide links to ‘how to’ guidance for selection and sequencing of EiE interventions.

The framework is part of an EiE Essential Resource Pack, which includes a Toolkit and an online library (see Linked Resources section).
