Access to high-quality and continuous education is a fundamental right for all children, including those affected by conflict and protracted crises. Yet despite ongoing efforts, significant barriers to access, quality and continuity of education remain. In this paper, we project to carry out a systematic review of evidence about the state of education in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where education delivery to conflict-affected Rohingya communities remains particularly challenging.

Informed by the ERICC Conceptual Framework and consultations with local stakeholders, our research agenda tackles the problem by developing a series of studies on three key aspects of education in Cox’s Bazar: ongoing responses to the recently introduced Myanmar curriculum, the current role of madrasas and their potential as partners for education interventions, and an analysis on continuing education for girls and older adolescents.

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.

This year’s adolescent-friendly Global Girlhood Report explores how the climate crisis impacts girls’ rights. It features new analysis by Save the Children on emergency hotspots where girls face the dual threat of child marriage and climate disasters, and stories of girls advocating for climate action in their communities.

The research agenda presented here highlights ERICC’s co-constructed national research priorities within Jordan, the rationale and factors that inform these priorities, and research plans to enact the agenda moving forward.
