The purpose of the Education for Peace, Recovery, and Resilience (EPRR) activity is to expand access to learning opportunities in a safe and protective learning environment, while reinforcing resilience efforts and recovery trends for children and youth most affected by conflict. South Sudan has the highest rate of children out of school at 72%, according to UNESCO’s Global Initiative for Out of School Children report released in 2018. Children and youth in South Sudan face numerous challenges in accessing education from persistent issues like distance to school, poverty, and cultural practices to those directly related to the conflict. The escalation of violence and displacement in July 2016 aggravated an already difficult education environment, with increased dropouts and low enrollments. Many of these children have also been affected psychologically as they experienced and witnessed violence, are forced to flee their homes, and adapt to living in confined housing in Protection of Civilian, Internally Displaced People (IDP) and refugee sites. There are persistent obstacles to increasing access and improving the quality of learning outcomes, and these have been exacerbated by the impact of the violent conflict. This project will increase access to emergency education in a safe and protective schooling environment for children and youth of 3 to 18 years who have been directly affected by the conflict either as IDPs, returnees, or host community members.
