The students need not be directly related or personally involved to experience anxiety or trauma. Over 17 million children were estimated to be living in internal displacement and refugees as a result of conflict and violence at the end of 2018, among them more than 6.2 million girls and 6.4 million boys of primary or secondary school age. In many countries affected by conflict such as Cameroon, internal displacement and refugees places huge strains on the already inadequate education facilities and many displaced children miss out on their schooling. Internally displaced children face significant challenges in exercising their right to education, from infrastructure, capacity and resource constraints to persistent insecurity, social tensions and discrimination. This creates a foundation for the conscription of young school dropouts and inhibits efforts towards sustainable peace. Therefore, an urgent need for more proactive steps by education authorities to develop national pedagogic plans for relief or emergency education is required. In Cameroon, the recent escalation of the sociopolitical crisis in the North West and South West Regions, the Boko Haram conflict in the Far North Region and the spill over of the conflict in the Central African Republic in the East Region of the country, have created a state of emergency in the education of young children which exposes the pedagogic weakness of state educational authorities towards the effective provision of relief education to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Refugees. It would appear the state has often been largely missing in action, as mostly humanitarian organizations have been seen active in such educational intervention roles. This paper therefore examines government's current pedagogic approach towards providing emergency education for IDPs and Refugees and the need for a sustainable national pedagogic plan for relief/emergency education interventions in the country.
