The Education, Peace, and Equity International Conference seeks to explore the role of education in conflict-affected contexts by bringing together researchers examining the past, present, and future role of education in strengthening the defences of peace.
Education provides the foundation for positive transformation within a society. Transforming education starts with a reaffirmation of education as a public good and the consequent requirement of guaranteeing the right to quality education for all. This transformation also includes the protection of places of learning and, most importantly, ensuring that education prepares learners not only for work but also strengthens solidarity, expands spaces for common human practices and experiences, and takes necessary action to achieve peaceful and sustainable societies. Protection of education in countries that have suffered from and remain fragile due to wars and ideological conflicts is essential. To inform socially just education systems, the provision for children and young people in contexts of conflict and protracted crises must be understood in relation to the wider social, economic, and political forces at play. To help realise peaceful, just, and sustainable societies, education must continuously adapt and engage with new challenges and complexities.
