The hidden crisis: Armed conflict and education

Violent conflict is one of the greatest development challenges facing the international community. Beyond the immediate human suffering it causes, it is a source of poverty, inequality and economic stagnation. Children and education systems are often on the front line of violent conflict.

The 2011 Global Monitoring Report will examine the damaging consequences of conflict for the Education for All goals. It will set out an agenda for protecting the right to education during conflict, strengthening provision for children, youth and adults affected by conflict, and rebuilding education systems in countries emerging from conflict. The Report will also explore the role of inappropriate education policies in creating conditions for violent conflict. Drawing on experience from a range of countries, it will identify problems and set out solutions that can help make education a force for peace, social cohesion and human dignity.

Launch date

The 2011 EFA Global Monitoring Report on armed conflict and education will be launched on 1 March 2011.

About 28 million children are out of school in countries affected by conflict, which is one of the major remaining obstacles to reaching the Education for All goals and other human development targets. The Report will set out an agenda for protecting the right to education during conflict and for rebuilding education systems in countries emerging from conflict.
