Crisis affects children in humanitarian settings disproportionately.

[João Pedro Azevedo @jpazvd]

📢The crisis has had detrimental impacts on children and youth beyond learning!

#COVID #education

[Jamie Weiss-Yagoda @JamieLinnWY]

Without foreign aid, essential services like #education cannot be provided to meet the needs of the people of Afghanistan. Powerful words from @RESCUEorg's Vicki Aken, Country Director of Afghanistan on @60Minutes

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Alfonsi: I think a lot of people will say, "We don't want to see aid go to Afghanistan because we don't want to give money to the Taliban.”

Vicki Aken, IRC: So you want to make 38m people suffer because of a few thousand? That math doesn't work for me.

Devastated by this. https://t.co/D9x2aNbtnG #BringDannyHome #protectjournalists

[Jamie Weiss-Yagoda @JamieLinnWY]

Investing in #education, particularly for women and girls, is essential to build a healthy, stable, prosperous and prepared future. Thank you for recognizing this, @SpeakerPelosi. Critical as well not to forget the most vulnerable-- those impacted by #crisis and #conflict.

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

“If I ruled the world, the one thing that I would do is invest in the education of women & girls & their empowerment.”

Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for focusing on how education is life-saving at #COP26— especially as women & girls are the most affected by climate change.

[Jamie Weiss-Yagoda @JamieLinnWY]

Education protects girls during crisis-- and yet it is one of the many losses girls experience during conflict, leaving them even more vulnerable to abuse, violence and exploitation. @RESCUEorg outlines the problem--and our colleagues are tirelessly working on solutions

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

The situation for girls in places prone to conflict and crisis can change in an instant.

This #InternationalDayoftheGirl, the IRC has identified the following countries as the most challenging places to grow up as a girl. Learn more: https://t.co/PiwARQP19o

We have to ensure funding goes to education in Afghanistan. Now is the time to commit.

[International Parliamentary Network for Education @IPNEducation]

Critical that the @g20org meeting today agree a mechanism to deliver vital aid, including for education. Millions in funding is frozen and must flow again for schools to reopen. #Together4Afghans #G20Italy

The right to education must be upheld, even during crisis. Humanitarian actors need to fund emergency education for Afghan children. @RESCUEorg was proud to endorse this letter.

[International Parliamentary Network for Education @IPNEducation]

Protecting the right to education for Afghan children will require a significant increase in coordinated international support.

Today 5️⃣0️⃣ organisations have endorsed @IPNEducation’s call for the @G20org to develop & fund a plan for Afghan education.

To inform how we spend scarce resources for education programs that achieve outcomes, we need research. Thanks to @DubaiCares, @RESCUEorg and @NYUGlobalTIES can share just what #social #emotional #tutoring programs can accomplish in crisis settings: https://t.co/ra0AGd16v7

[Jamie Weiss-Yagoda @JamieLinnWY]

Great quote from @RESCUEorg's incredible research partner Larry Aber from @NYUGlobalTIES

[Education Cannot Wait @EduCannotWait]

“We have clear qualitative research indicating that if teachers feel comfortable & have more skill in teaching social-emotional learning, children will have improved academic outcomes.” ~Lawrence Aber @NYUGlobalTies
