Abstract

Education was and still is one of the most important components of the progress of all nations, so international conventions affirmed the right to education for all children as one of their most important rights. However, disasters and crises have a significant negative impact on societies, especially children, and the extent to which appropriate educational services are provided to them. Therefore, strategies must focus on the need to ensure children's access to education, especially in areas affected by disasters and crises. The study presents the concept of semi-permanent buildings as a suitable tool to accelerate the construction of schools, which facilitates the process of rapid recovery from the effects of disasters and emergency crises, in addition to being economical, safe and easy to use. The study mentions the rapid construction methods for semi-permanent buildings, and in particular the method of construction with reinforced polystyrene panels as one of the modern construction methods, taking into account factors such as speed of construction, flexibility and sustainability. To demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed construction system, the research presents a comparison of this system with an existing model that was built in the traditional manner. By analyzing the results of the comparison, the study concluded that the advantages of using this system for semi-permanent buildings allow providing the appropriate educational environment in the fastest time and at an appropriate cost.
