A new UN report reveals that over 250 million children and youth have their education disrupted by conflict and environmental disasters. More than 100 million are completely out of school. The report examines the impact of conflict, internal displacement, climate shocks, and socio-economic crises on educational access. Armed conflict and violence are identified as the primary drivers of these disruptions. The findings highlight a growing global crisis in education, exacerbated by multiple overlapping factors. The report underscores the urgent need for increased international cooperation to protect education in emergency situations and ensure continued learning opportunities for affected children. These disruptions have long-term consequences for individuals and communities.
