The Emergency Education Response Programme has achieved considerable successes.

• The achievements of the EER are considerable, including large scale, multi-stakeholder mobilisation to provide access to formal education for 130,000 Syrian children within Jordan's public system and informal and non-formal education for 35,000 children.

Significant and urgent challenges remain related to access and quality.

• Some 40 per cent of children (97,000) still do not have access to formal education, and many of those who do experience difficult classroom environments. Overcrowding, decreased instructional times in double-shifted schools and inadequate teacher training all inhibit learning.

Alternative education programmes are valued, but require standardisation and pathways for progression.

• While alternative programmes delivered by NGO partners provide flexible education to 35,000 Syrian refugee children, they lack a full-time and structured curriculum, standardised measures of quality and a clear pathway into formal education.

Gendered challenges persist for boys and girls.

• Efforts around gender mainstreaming and capacity building, enhanced coordination and disaggregated reporting, show that gender is a priority. However, crucial gaps remain: programmatic focus is still overwhelmingly on outreach and support for girls, undervaluing the severe challenges boys face, such as high rates of child labour and low classroom engagement.

Moving out of the 'emergency' phase.

• Focusing on immediate education needs has enabled significant successes in terms of education access and roll-out of services, however as it becomes clear that the EER will have a continuing role over the medium term, the question of its sustainability is more urgent.
