Shared information, experiences and knowledge are the foundations for guiding decision-making within the Global and country-level Education Clusters. Access to the tacit knowledge held by individuals involved with the work of the Education Cluster as well as representatives from UN agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community groups, and national government ministries is fundamental to the planning and implementation of an effective educational response. The practice of systematically documenting and sharing lessons learned and good practices is especially important in informing the work of the Education Cluster.This report explores the experiences of 11 different national Education Clusters surrounding five thematic issues while capturing key lessons learned and examples of good practices.

The Somalia Education Cluster Operational Framework 2018-2020 is the key guiding document for the Education Cluster work in the upcoming years. It outlines the strategic directions, key approaches and activities and operational modalities in order to achieve the objectives. Through this, the Education Cluster Secretariat and Partners aim at an Education in Emergency (EiE) response that is effective, efficient, timely and support quality programmes and implementation, as well as a mechanism for advocacy, high level decision making, funding for EiE and support the gradual transition of coordination leadership to the Ministry of Education (MoE)
