The most grave violations in times of conflict, including attacks on schools and protected personnel, i.e. education staff and students.MRM aims to understand the impact of conflict on children to better respond.MRM is evidence-based to be able to address these issues on a higher level (including Security Council, Government, etc), but also programmatically across relevant sectors, including education.

What is MRM?

Slide10

Education Cluster & MRM

Training / workshop held for Education Cluster partners in Erbil on 5th May 2016.Purpose of this was to coordinate and complement rather than duplicate efforts to improve access to safe learning for children in Iraq.Agreed on modalities to strengthen link between Education Cluster and the MRM.Outcome was development of Education Cluster reporting format and information-sharing protocol (printed on your tables!). Tools endorsed by the Cluster and circulated.

Slide11

11

How can this look?

Safe and secure schools, for instance during reconstruction, to prevent attacks on schools, protect students and staff – to and from schoolPreparation for attacks/military use of schools, in terms of roles/responsibilities of staff, medical training/equipment, emergency procedures, etc. Potentially use teachers and curriculums to raise awareness and sensitize vulnerable/at risk children, children/families returning, etc. Message delivery (mine, UXO, IED RE, etc.), peace-building, etc. Education as an important element in reintegration of children who have returned from armed actors, as well as prevention of recruitment and use.

Slide12

Coordinate with the MRM Technical Working Group to identify partners who can be trained to monitor, report and respond - Information gathering and mutual benefit;Mainstream MRM-related issues in education programming and advocacy through the Cluster;Use of MRM information in Education strategies, including advocacy and fund-raising;Strengthen advocacy with relevant gov’t stakeholders and armed actors regarding schools as safe zones and places of learning.
