The purpose of the INEE Minimum Standards is to improve the quality of educational preparedness, response, and recovery; to increase access to safe and relevant learning opportunities; and to ensure that the actors who provide these services are held accountable.
[5] The INEE Minimum Standards are designed to be applicable to crisis response in many different situations, including emergencies caused by conflict, by natural hazards such as those induced by climate change, and slow- and rapid-onset crises in both rural and urban environments.
The INEE Steering Group is composed of ten organizational members, represented by senior professionals in the field of education in emergencies.
Working Groups are composed of experts and practitioners from a variety of international organisations and institutions, and membership is gained through an application process.
The Language Communities also undertake advocacy and outreach in Arabic-speaking, Lusophone, Francophone and Hispanophone countries, raising awareness about the importance of education for those affected by crisis.
