Let us not fail our children COURTESYEducation simply must be at the centre of humanitarian actionJanuary 24, 2019 marked the world’s first International Day of Education. As an organization focused on child rights, Educo welcomes this Unesco marker. It is awful to think of the babies being born today -- on International Education Day -- into a protracted crisis where they may not get any schooling, or at best, the most basic or intermittent. Education simply must be at the centre of humanitarian action otherwise governments today will continue to fail millions of vulnerable children. It is heartening to see some governments and institutions finally recognizing the need to focus on education in emergencies.
