UNICEF’s long experience in disasters has demonstrated that returning children to school as quickly as possible is one of the most valuable emergency interventions that can take place. But many of the schools in the affected areas are turned into evacuation centers, disrupting basic education processes. Education is key to children’s long-term opportunities, and must not be interrupted. In addition, schools provide children with a sense of normalcy, which is crucial to their psychological well-being.
