Education in emergencies, the great forgotten (and why Ukraine is an exception) This country is a unique case that shows that, with the support of the Government and the international community, important progress can be achieved. “Between the bombs, the attacks, the fear and the uncertainty, continuing to go to school has been my only lifeline,” says Aleks, a 14-year-old boy from the city of Kherson.

Education has only received 4% of total humanitarian appeals, while the Global Campaign for Education demands that this percentage be 10%.
