Education for All needs your help through funding rapid response school environments. The Education in a Box is a shipping container, which transforms quickly into a fully functioning education centre in a disaster or emergency relief situation.  Designed specifically for emergency response the container will be able to be turned into a fully operational school within hours of arrival.  Each container is fitted with a variety of furnishings depending on the requirements of the user. We can fit the container out as an office, a library, meeting room or a combination of all of these. The rest of the school equipment, (tents, desks, chairs, etc. along with optional extra requested items) is then packed in the container. Then the container is despatched from Education for All’s UK warehouse within three days of request. When the container arrives at its destination, the tents are assembled singularly or in multiples depending upon individual requirements and teaching capacity, forming between 1 and 10 classrooms, holding between 20 and 200 students. The container is fully lockable so all equipment can be safely secured within, both during transportation and if required for daily security.   If the school is used on a ‘shift’ program rotating between user groups, for example, primary, secondary and adult, throughout the day the capacity can be maximized up to 720 students. School Area Pupils 10 x Classrooms 200 Sports Class 20 Library 20   Capacity of users per session = 240 X 2 sessions per day = 480 X 3 sessions per day = 720   The cost of Education in a Box is variable depending on the options selected from the menu (provided upon request)…and ranges from around £13,000 to £ 35,000 depending upon items selected by the user. Please see images attached for variations on the set up. The  Education in a Box is an innovative solution to the continuing of education and an aid to rehabilitation in an otherwise difficult situation.
