Education Reform in Pakistan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: International Crisis Group In April 2010, the eighteenth constitutional amendment committed Pakistan to free and compulsory education for all children between the ages of five and sixteen. Yet millions are still out of school, and the education system remains alarmingly impoverished. The madrasa (religious school) sector flourishes, with no meaningful efforts made to regulate the seminaries, many of which propagate religious and sectarian hatred. Militant violence and natural disasters have exacerbated the dismal state of education. The public education system needs to foster a tolerant citizenry, capable of competing in the labour market and supportive of democratic norms within the country and peace with the outside world. Education Reform in Pakistan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: International Crisis Group En Avril 2010, le Pakistan s’est engagé, l'amendement constitutionnel XVIII, à mettre en place une éducation gratuite et obligatoire pour tous les enfants âgés de cinq à seize ans. Pourtant, des millions d’enfants ne sont encore à l'école et le système éducatif s’appauvrit d’une façon alarmante. Le secteur de la madrasa (école religieuse) fleurit, sans que des efforts significatifs soient déployés pour réglementer les séminaires, qui propagent souvent la haine religieuse et le sectarisme. La violence militante et les catastrophes naturelles ont aggravé l'état lamentable de l'éducation. Le système public de l'éducation doit favoriser une citoyenneté tolérante, compétitive sur le marché du travail et apportant son soutien aux normes démocratiques dans le pays et à la paix avec le monde extérieur. 
Education and Security - a global literature review on the role of education in countering violent religious extremism Year of publication: 2016 Author: Ratna Ghosh | Ashley Manuel | W.Y. Alice Chan | Maihemuti Dilimulati | Mehdi Babaei This review demonstrates that the impact of the worldwide proliferation of violent attacks motivated by religious extremism threatens both national and personal security irrespective of location or faith. Education has been particularly damaged by direct attacks on institutions, by the removal of educational opportunity, and by the use of education to indoctrinate and recruit young people. This review suggests that more young people today are being radicalized through soft power – extremist ideas, ideology, narratives and propaganda. It questions whether this can be met adequately by hard power responses, as these methods appeal directly to the psychological, intellectual and emotional states of young people. Education and Security - a global literature review on the role of education in countering violent religious extremism Year of publication: 2016 Author: Ratna Ghosh | Ashley Manuel | W.Y. Alice Chan | Maihemuti Dilimulati | Mehdi Babaei Cette revue démontre que l'impact de la prolifération des attaques violentes motivées par un extrémisme religieux menace aussi bien la sécurité nationale que celle des individus, quelle que soit la religion et le pays. L'éducation a été particulièrement touchée par des attaques directes sur des institutions éducatives, par la perte de toute perspective d’éducation et par l'usage abusif de l'éducation pour endoctriner et enrôler les jeunes. Cette revue avance que, aujourd'hui, force est de constater que plus de jeunes se radicalisent par l'intermédiaire du « soft power » - idées extrémistes, idéologie, récits et propagande. Elle remet en question l'efficacité et l'adéquation des réponses sécuritaires, alors que ces méthodes agissent sur les jeunes à la fois sur les plans psychologique, intellectuel et émotionnel.

The Counter Terrorist Classroom: Countering Extremism Through (Religious) Education? Year of publication: 2015 Author: Liam Gearon The article identifies international cases– from the United States, Europe, and the United Nations– of an emergent interface of religion, education and security. This is manifest in the uses of religion in education to counter religious extremism, the notional “counter terrorist classroom”. To avoid an over-association of extremism with religion, the article provides some historical reminders that the post-Enlightenment centuries were marked by political extremism, particularly in the phenomenon that came to be known as totalitarianism. The Counter Terrorist Classroom: Countering Extremism Through (Religious) Education? Year of publication: 2015 Author: Liam Gearon Cet article identifie des cas d’interaction croissante entre les sphères du religieux, de l’éducation et le domaine sécuritaire - aux États-Unis, en Europe, et au sein des Nations Unies. Par exemple, l’intégration du religieux dans l’éducation afin de lutter contre l’extrémisme religieux, la théorique « lutte contre le terrorisme au sein des salles de classe ». Pour éviter une trop forte association entre extrémisme et religion, l’auteur procède à quelques rappels historiques et souligne le fait qu’à la fin du siècle des Lumières et jusqu’à aujourd’hui, les sociétés ont été marquées par diverses formes d’extrémisme politique, comme le montre notamment l’exemple les totalitarismes du XXe siècle. 
Resilience, violent extremism and religious education Year of publication: 2013 Author: Joyce Miller This article is an attempt to provide an educational justification for the British Government-funded project REsilience, on addressing contentious issues through religious education (RE), which was carried out by the RE Council of England and Wales. A number of issues relating to the inclusion of religiously inspired violent extremism in the curriculum are raised – definitional, political and educational. 
Youth and the Field of Countering Violent Extremism Year of publication: 2018 Author: Marc Sommers Most youth are peaceful. Even if the field known as “countering violent extremism” (CVE) did not exist, most young people still would not join a violent extremist organization (VEO). At the same time, the overwhelming majority of people who become violent extremists are youth — most of whom are male. The challenge at the center of CVE is thus an unusual one: identifying the fraction of youth populations most likely to enter a VEO and thwarting that option. This paper investigates that challenge, with analysis featuring interviews with 21 experts and over 400 publications on violent extremism, CVE, and youth. Two correlations inform this work: the direct relationship between nations with “youth bulge” populations and state repression, and the connection between state repression and increased violent extremism, with repressive states usually targeting male youth.
