"The right to education is for all children, including those affected by conflict."
That's the pronouncement of the UN's special representative for children and armed conflict, Virginia Gamba, after she signed an agreement with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO) to protect and continue education in conflict areas, per a press release.
The International Day to Protect Education from Attack was established by the UN General Assembly in 2020 to raise awareness of the "devastating impact on children, especially girls," who are especially at risk from attacks on schools, per the release.
The agreement signed by Gamba and UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova " emphasizes specifically the importance of education as part of reintegration programs for children formerly associated with armed forces or groups and the centrality of prevention," the release notes.
Under the agreement, UNESCO and SRSG will work together "to create accelerated education curricula for children and youth benefiting from reintegration support, the training of teachers, and the provision of capacity-building on the monitoring and reporting of attacks against schools in situations of concern," the press release notes.
(In Syria, more than a million kids are out of school.)
