But it is crucial to realize that, for children, educational opportunity underpins all humanitarian and development interventions. Schools provide more than the skills that children will need in later life; they also serve as vehicles for disseminating lifesaving health and safety information.
我们并不是要求捐助者将教育摆在即时救生措施的前面，也不是要求从其他紧急救援工作中进行资金分流。但关键是要认识到对儿童来讲，教育机会贯穿着所有的人道主义和发展措施。学校所提供的不仅是儿童今后生活中所需的技能；此外也充当传播救生医疗和安全信息的介质。
