At 1st International Day To Protect Education, Stakeholders Advocate Schools Protection

On Wednesday, the global community came together to mark the first International Day to Protect Education from Attack with the theme ‘Protect Education, Save a Generation’.

Experts said the day couldn’t have come at a better time than now that the world is confronted with an unprecedented global health crisis.
Attack on education is defined as any threatened or actual use of force against students, teachers, academics, education support and education officials, education buildings, resources, or facilities.
Attacks on education kill and injure, lead to student dropouts, loss of teachers, and extended school and university closures.
They diminish the quality of education and have devastating, long-term consequences for society, the experts said.
Education is said to be under attack globally and the number of attacks is only rising, thus the need to remind the global community that education is an essential driver of human development and the solution.
While experts across the globe said they must stand in unity to ensure that they end attacks on education to protect and secure undisrupted, equitable, and quality learning, they further stated that a child’s right to education cannot be safeguarded in conflict zones without education itself being protected.
The UN said the day draws attention to the plight of more than 75 million 3-to-18-year-olds living in 35 crisis-affected countries and to their urgent need of educational support.
The United Nations in Nigeria, in a statement, said safeguarding education from attack is urgently needed to restore confidence in schools as places of protection for children and teachers.
This is particularly pressing in light of the COVID-19, which affected 46 million primary and secondary learners across Nigeria due to pandemic-related school closures.
The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Mr Edward Kallon said: “As state governments plan to reopen schools after prolonged closures, building a resilient education system to withstand future shocks should be included in pandemic response plans.”
He noted that prioritising safety in schools for educators and learners is an indication of government’s commitment to protecting investments in the education sector and a validation of Nigeria’s endorsement of the Safe Schools Declaration.
The report said in the 37 countries profiled, at least 10 attacks on education occurred over the last five years.
It noted that conflict has severely impinged on the right to education in Nigeria, saying, from 2009 to December 2018, 611 teachers were killed, 910 schools damaged or destroyed and more than 1,500 schools forced to close due to Boko Haram-related violence, interrupting the schooling of more than 900,000 children.
The report stated that Boko Haram openly targeted students based on gender, distinctly impacting the education of girls and women.
Also on December 24, 2018, Boko Haram allegedly burnt two schools in Kukareta and Ngaurawa villages, Yobe State, the GCPEA report said
