According to this UNESCO report, since the start of the war in Ukraine on 24 February, more than 3.5 million people have fled the country, with estimates suggesting that at least 1.5 million of them are children. As more people are forced to leave their countries, IIE’s Platform for Education in Emergencies Response (IIE PEER) can be leveraged in multiple ways by different groups of people.
