Key Information

Timely and accurate monitoring and reporting of attacks on education is crucial for responding to attacks, for holding perpetrators accountable, and for seeking to prevent attacks from occurring in the first place. -Between 2013 and 2017, there were more than 12,700 cases in which schools or universities were attacked or used for military purposes, or in which students and educators were directly harmed, threatened, recruited into armed groups, or sexually abused. -These attacks occurred in at least 70 countries and harmed more than 21,000 students and educators. -Without information on where these attacks occur and why, or on who is harmed, it is almost impossible to provide assistance to victims, prevent them from occurring in the future, or encourage accountability. The Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) is engaged in several activities to improve monitoring and reporting on attacks on education and our understanding their trends and dynamics.
