Protegiendo la Educación de los Ataques

A global study of attacks on schools, universities, their students and staff, in 2022 and 2023. Attacks on education are frequent and widespread. From Palestine to Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo to Ukraine, students and teachers are killed, raped, and abducted, while schools and universities are bombed, burned down, and used for military purposes. In the 28 countries profiled in this report, at least ten attacks on education occurred over the past two years.

Acogemos con beneplácito las iniciativas de los distintos Estados en cuanto a promover y proteger el derecho a la educación y para facilitar la continuidad de la educación en situaciones de conflicto armado. La continuidad de la educación puede proporcionar información sobre salud susceptible de salvarvid

El presente Marco para la Acción pretende brindar a los gobiernos una lista de sugerencias, recomendaciones y ejemplos no exhaustivos que pueden resultarles útiles en la determinación de una manera adecuada de implementar los compromisos asumidos al adoptar la Declaración sobre Escuelas Seguras

This briefing paper argues that the risks and impacts of climate change are critical to consider within any effort to prevent, mitigate, or respond to attacks on education. In the face of these converging crises, states should act urgently to protect education in the context of climate change.

The Guidelines were drawn up with the aim of better protecting schools and universities from use by armed groups for military purposes, and to minimise the negative impact that armed conflict has on students’ safety and education. They provide concrete guidance to states and non-state armed groups for the planning and execution of military operations.

El Paquete se elaboró a partir del trabajo realizado por GCPEA y otros socios para medir con mayor precisión la magnitud y el impacto de los ataques a la educación y abordar las falencias con respecto al monitoreo y la comunicación de estos hechos.

This scoping paper provides background on the topic and explores global trends in non-state armed group attacks on education. This paper also highlights various practices and policies, from the community to international levels, to curb non-state armed group attacks on education and use of schools and universities for non-educational purposes.

The Toolkit intends to inculcate deeper respect for, and protection of, educational facilities into military training, planning and ethos.

This report provides an overview of what the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) does to protect and ensure safe access to education in places affected by armed conflict and other violence.

In response to a growing crisis of attacks on higher education communities worldwide, GCPEA conducted a wide-ranging consultation with representatives of higher education networks and associations from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas to understand the causes and consequences of such attacks and to identify measures to increase protection.

The paper addresses the scope and nature of attacks on education personnel and the range of measures put in place to protect them. Many of the measures have not been formally evaluated. Additional research is needed to understand the dynamics of attacks on teachers and how to most effectively protect teachers.

This report collects recent and historic examples of laws, court decisions, military orders, policies, and practice by governments, armed forces, non-state armed groups, and courts aimed at protecting schools and universities from use for military purposes.

This document extracts from the “What Schools Can Do to Protect Education from Attack” report in order to serve as a technical guide for ministries of education, local education officials, communities, NGOs, and international agencies seeking to develop localized templates on actions that school-based actors can take to protect schools, students, and teachers from attack.

The following is a set of recommendations for states to consider when seeking to implement each commitment within the Safe Schools Declaration in a way that will better protect women and girls.

This Menu of Actions is intended as a resource to empower personnel of ministries responsible for education to better prevent attacks on education or protect schools from military use, mitigate the impact of attacks when they do occur, and respond to attacks.

The Guidelines were drawn up with the aim of better protecting schools and universities from use by armed groups for military purposes, and to minimise the negative impact that armed conflict has on students’ safety and education. They provide concrete guidance to states and non-state armed groups for the planning and execution of military operations.

The paper describes what is actually being done in the field at the school-level to protect education from attack, identifying the risks and challenges involved, and drawing out lessons learned from these measures as well as other literature on the topic

This guidance introduces a conceptual framework for risk identification and reduction in contexts with attacks on education.
