Drawing on experience from a range of countries, it identifies problems and sets out solutions that can help make education a force for peace, social cohesion and human dignity. The Report also explores the role of inappropriate education policies in creating conditions for violent conflict. It sets out an agenda for protecting the right to education during conflict, strengthening provision for children, youth and adults affected by conflict, and rebuilding education systems in countries emerging from conflict.

The 2011 Global Monitoring Report examines the damaging consequences of conflict for the Education for All goals.

Children and education systems are often on the front line of violent conflict. Beyond the immediate human suffering it causes, it is a source of poverty, inequality and economic stagnation. Violent conflict is one of the greatest development challenges facing the international community.
