Developed by the INEE Working Group on Minimum Standards in partnership with the IASC Education Cluster, the INEE Minimum Standards Toolkit responds to the growing need for tools to guide humanitarian aid workers, government officials and educationalists in the implementation of the INEE Minimum Standards. The Toolkit contains the INEE Minimum Standards handbook, training and promotional materials, including all translations, as well as clear, practical tools and resources to help field staff and Ministry of Education officials implement the standards.
The toolkit is available online here: www.ineesite.org/toolkit
The INEE Minimum Standards present a global framework for coordinated action to enhance the quality of educational preparedness and response, increase access to safe and relevant learning opportunities, and ensure humanitarian accountability in providing these services. They provide good practices and concrete guidance to governments and humanitarian workers to enhance the resilience of education systems and can be used for sector planning. The INEE Minimum Standards are being implemented in over 80 countries around the world in a wide range of contexts, including fragile states, acute emergencies, protracted crises and post-crisis recovery and development. They are being used for programme and policy planning, assessment, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as advocacy and preparedness in order reach the Education for All goals.
The Toolkit will help users of the INEE Minimum Standards adapt the indicators to their local setting and contextualise the guidance notes, good practices and lessons learned that are codified within the handbook in order to realize the standards. There are also a set of tools that are particularly relevant to disaster preparedness and risk reduction as well as to the cross-cutting issues of human and children’s rights, gender, HIV/AIDS and disability.
