 World Vision International Syria Response (&#8220;WVSR&#8221;) proposes to provide lifesaving emergency education services to earthquake-affected girls and boys in across 7 schools Atareb, Maaret Tamsrin, and Salqin sub-districts in Aleppo and Idleb governorates for a period of six months. The project will directly contribute to EQR Phase 1 &#8211; First Reserve Allocation focusing on lifesaving immediate response, offering integrated services leading to restored educational opportunities within quality, safe and protective learning environments in seven schools within the priority geographical areas of underserved and high-needs communities in Northwest Syria. The proposed intervention will build upon WVSRs existing access, capacity, and pre-existing Memorandums of Understanding with Education Directorates in the targeted locations to ensure a rapid start to implementation. The proposed project will holistically respond to identified
 immediate needs while increasing the resilience of affected communities, and is expected to directly reach 1,222 girls, 2,047 boys, 132 women, and 196 men, as well as an indirect 2,629 girls and 2,695 boys. Direct targets anticipate reaching 36 girls and 61 boys internally displaced and 31 boys and 23 girls with disabilities. 
 
 Access to formal and non-formal education will be increased through a package of activities reaching 7 schools selected in coordination
 with the Education Directorates, including the establishment of Temporary Learning Spaces, rehabilitation of damaged education facilities (including WASH facilities), provision of learning and teaching materials to facilitate the minimum learning package of formal education and non-formal remedial/summer programs, distribution of lifesaving and protection outreach messages, provision of incentives for teachers and school staff (administrators, cleaners, guards) and cash-for-education for all enrolled children for two months. The schools were selected in coordination with the Education Directorate and cross-checked against impact assessments conducted by agencies in the education cluster, including WV and REACH. To ensure quality, safe, and protective learning environments, teachers and administrative staff will receive psychosocial support (PSS) and Psychosocial First Aid (PFA), in addition to training on relevant
 child-friendly pedagogical methodologies. PSS facilitators will provide child-friendly PSS activities to elevate child well-being through school-level group activities. School Management Committees will be reconvened/established to increase community participation in education, and in coordination with WVSR will establish helpdesks at each school. Referrals for children to specialized services will be available in coordination with Child Protection actors. This intervention will complement ongoing educational programming in nearby schools and be supported by WV's multisectoral teams in Syria (WASH, Child Protection).
