First-Line Education Response (FLER) is NRC’s model for delivering essential education activities within six weeks of a crisis for children affected by displacement, conflict, and disruption to schooling.

FLER:

- uses a phased, trauma-sensitive approach aligned with children’s recovery
- combines psychosocial support, play, lifesaving learning, and foundational skills
- bridges children back to formal or non-formal education
- is implemented in temporary learning spaces or early recovery settings, adapting as conditions stabilize
