Promoting Resilience: Developing Capacity within the Education Systems Affected by Conflict
There is limited recognition of the evident role education has to play in assisting nations affected by conflict to recover and emerge as ‘stronger and prouder nations’. Therefore, it is essential to understand how education institutions and the systems that support them can encourage conflict-affected countries to transform into stable and resilient states. This document discusses how, given the potential increase in conflicts and tensions as a result of climate change and rapidly declining resources, there is a growing sense of urgency among the international community to engage in strategies that mitigate conflict and promote peace. To move away from a ‘culture of imposition’ to a ‘culture of dialogue’ is particularly essential in countries emerging from civil war.
