A/HRC/8/10 page 27 (e) There should be prompt attention to the consequences of emergency situations for girls and female adolescents, and strategic measures developed to give physical and emotional protection in order to ensure that they go to school; (f) There should be more thorough research into specific programmes for young people and adolescents, including the needs of persons with disabilities; (g) Greater attention should be paid to understanding and the development of education for peace; (h) There should be a shift away from the current emphasis on quantifiable, but often inaccurate, figures on school enrolment and dropout rates, for example, and greater use of qualitative methodologies which will make it possible to determine the degree of psychosocial care during emergencies. B. Recommendations to States 146. The Special Rapporteur recommends that States should: (a) Develop a plan that prepares for education in emergencies, as part of their general educational programmes, to include specific measures for continuity of education at all levels and during all the phases of the emergency. Such a plan should include training for the teachers in various aspects of emergency situations; (b) Draw up a programme of studies that is adaptable, non-discriminatory, gender-sensitive and of high quality, and that meets children’s and young people’s needs during emergency situations; (c) Ensure the involvement of children, parents and civil society in planning school activities, so that safe spaces are provided for students throughout the emergency; (d) Design and implement specific plans to avoid exploitation of girls and young women in the wake of emergencies. C. Recommendations to donors 147. The Special Rapporteur recommends that donors should: (a) Include education in all their humanitarian assistance plans and increase the education allocation to at least 4.2 per cent of total humanitarian assistance, in line with need;52 (b) 52 Support the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s Education Cluster; Alianza Internacional Save the Children, Last in Line, Last in School: How donors are failing children in conflict-affected fragile states, 2007.
