1) This is INEE Indicator 2.6.
2) Government or national standards should be used where applicable. In emergency contexts, if these standards do not exist the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Minimum Standards (contextualised where available), especially Access and Learning Environment Standard 10: Facilities and Services, and/or Education Cluster/Working Group standards, should be used and referred to. These standards are integrated into PIN’s School and Learning Space Observation Checklist.
3) Wherever possible, it is recommended to look at quality and safety through a climate change lens and assess the sustainability of educational facilities (the use of renewable sources, management of power consumption, water conservation and water harvesting/greywater reuse systems).
