Norway increases support for education in crisis situations

News story | 29/09/2019
‘Some 37 million of the children who are currently out of school live in areas affected by crisis and conflict. The fact that these children are deprived of their right to education means that they are doubly affected by crises. In times of crisis, attending school can provide protection and help to maintain a sense of normality. Education also raises children’s chances of being able to work their way out of poverty in the future and improve their quality of life. That is why we are increasing our support for education in crisis situations,’ said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
