of residence of applicants. Applicants with a refugee status are encouraged to apply, but
the scholarships are equally open to those still living in wartorn countries. Applicants need to be
accepted for a program (undergraduate or graduate, including Master, MPhil, PhD) at the University of
Oxford to be considered for funding.

The State of the World's Children 2016: A fair chance for every child
UNICEF
On June 28 UNICEF launched their flagship report, The State of the World’s Children 2016: A fair
chance for every child. The report argues that progress for themost disadvantaged children is the defining condition for deliveringon the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Unless the world tackles inequity today, by 2030:
Over 165 million children will live on no more than US$1.90a day, nine out of 10 of them in subSaharan Africa.Almost 70 million children under the age of 5 will die oflargely preventable causes.750 million women will have been married as children,perpetuating intergenerational cycles of disadvantage.
We have a clear choice to make: Invest in accelerated progress forthe children being left behind, or face the consequences of a farmore divided and unfair world by 2030.

Accelerated Education in Central African Republic
Norwegian Refugee Council
NRC is pleased to share with you the summary of findings and recommendations of the new NRC reporton accelerated education in the Central African Republic entitled Accelerated Education as an Optionfor a Better Future. The education sector in the Central African Republic has been severely affected bythe crisis in the country since late 2012 and children – particularly girls – have been denied access toschool due to the displacement, closure of schools and lack of access by pupils and teachers due tohighlevel insecurity. The subsequent humanitarian crisis of 20132014 has exacerbated challenges andled to what can be described as a “lost school year.”

With this summary of the findings of the feasibility study and corresponding
recommendations for relevant stakeholders (including the Ministry of
Education (MoE), the Education Cluster and newlyformed Accelerated
Education Working Group (AEWG) in CAR, it is hoped that this work will
contribute to addressing the many challenges of access, quality and equity
for children and youth who have been denied their right to education.

Jordan youth programme evaluationNorwegian Refugee Council
The purpose of the Jordan Youth Programme Evaluation was to support
learning and provide guidance for future programme direction.In 2015,
NRC Education began a strategic review of its programming with young
people. This Jordan Youth Programme evaluation is seen as a key
additional component of the wider NRC learning youth agenda. The
programme in Jordan has been regarded as a high quality, relevant and
innovative programme. Distinctly in NRC, the Youth programme in Jordan
has been a standalone platform with a dedicated management structure,
independent from the Education Core Competency.
Overall conclusions:
The NRC Youth Programme in Jordan is nimble and everadapting
like the youth it aims to serve
The Country Office decision to keep Youth separate from Education
has allowed the Programme to focus on a wider range of youth issues than youthserving
organisations normally do: not just education and training, but making friends, improving your
standing in the community, finding your way in the world
The Programme also manages to embody much more than the sum of its parts: Technical
Vocational Education and Training, Education, Life Skills – functions that often stay in their silos
and ossify – to include those elusive “soft” effects that NGOs often claim to achieve, but often do
not
The advocacy and coordination functions in particular have been exemplary, owing in part to the
tenacity of a few staff
There is work to be done to break down (especially the gendered) barriers to participation, and
the high dropout rate is worrying
To the extent the experience from this programme can be made known outside Jordan, the
refugee youth empowerment field will be better for it

Mapping: Role of Education Cluster in Monitoring, Reporting, & Responding toAttacks on EducationElizabeth Cossor
This report aims to capture a range of perspectives on the
Education Cluster’s role at the global and national levels, and to
map the current Education Cluster practices in monitoring,
reporting and response to attacks on education, including the
main challenges and lessons learned. Inputs for this mapping
were collected via a survey which yielded 61 individual
responses, 31 key informant interviews with global, regional and
country level stakeholders, review of more than 50 field level
resources, and additional email correspondence. In total, more
than 80 practitioners, specialists and advocates from the
education, child protection and rightsrelated fields contributed

Some Reflections on the Risks that PublicPrivate Partnerships Pose for the Right
to Education
Right To Education Project
PublicPrivate Partnership (PPP) is an umbrella term that refers to the arrangement between agovernment and one or more private actors to provide a service, in this case, education. Thisarrangement is normally formalised by a contract that specifies the nature of the service, the length ofthe provision, the risks and cost that each party will bear, amongst other issues. The services providedby these PPPs vary, including: management, maintenance, infrastructure and support services liketransportation, school meals, cleaning, security, etc.
Because this definition is fairly broad, I will focus on the type of PPPs whose current growth is raisingmost concern amongst the human rights and education communities: PPPs where private actorsmanage schools (contract schools, charter schools, free schools, academies, etc.) and the governmentpays for students to attend.

Violent cities: the ghettoes of our world?
The world is less peaceful today than it was in 2008, is indicatedby the results of the 2015 Global Peace Index. Regardless of theglobal, regional and local investments in humanitarian relief,peacekeeping missions and development aid, the world seesgrowing numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons(IDPs), increasing numbers of deaths from internal conflicts anddevastating impacts of various forms of violence in cities aroundthe globe. The nature of conflict and violence has also changeddrastically over the past decades, with conflict becoming morelocalised and more violent deaths occurring in socalled nonconflict areas.

English class taught by two refugee volunteers in a makeshift classroom at a

Urgent funding needed to get all 700,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey into schoolThe Huffington Post, 01 July 2016
Turkey has taken in more Syrian refugee children than any other country more than 700,000 of them.
But 400,000 are out of school and a lack of funding means they will still be shut out of the education
system when the new school year starts in less than 100 days. Today the Foreign Affairs Minister of
Turkey, Mevlut Cavusoglu will be in Brussels for talks with EU Commission VicePresident Frans
Timmermans, where they will discuss crucially important funding issues as part of a new chapter in EU

State of the World's Children 2016UNICEF, 29 June 2016
It’s a typical Friday afternoon in the city. Amena has prepared an elaborate family meal of dal, rice,
stewed greens, pumpkin, chicken curry and fish – her daughter Hafsa’s favourite. Hafsa doesn’t feel like
sitting around with the adults, though; she’d rather go outside and play.
The family of five doesn’t have much. At US$64 a month, rent for their modest twobedroom flat in the
city eats up about a third of the combined income that Hafsa’s father and grandfather bring in. But it’s
enough to provide Hafsa with a loving, nurturing environment.

Pastoralist Education in EthiopiaSave The Children, 24 June 2016
For the last six months I've been focusing on getting water and food to as many schools and students as
possible. During this time I've become more and more fascinated with a way of life that is so different
from everywhere else in the world I've lived and worked: pastoralism. Ethiopia is home to the largest
group of pastoralists in Africa, estimated at 14 million strong, making up over 15% of its population.
