The Alternative Education in Emergencies Resource Kit is an 11-module knowledge product that provides guidance for teachers and school administrators on how alternative and flexible learning options can help sustain quality learning after a disaster, and how they can be adapted to suit a range of contexts and evolving needs as communities gradually recover to normalcy. The second module of the Alternative Education in Emergencies Resource Kit is divided into two parts. Module 2A provides a more detailed discussion of the concept of alternative education and outlines the differences between its two types: alternative access and alternative curriculum programs. It ends with a note on the importance of alternative education.
