Schools and war: urgent agendas for comparative and international education Year of publication: 2005 Author: Lynn Davies Corporate author: Taylor & Francis This paper looks first at the contributions that education makes to conflict, through the reproduction of inequality and exclusion, through perpetuation of ethnic or religious divisions, through its acceptance of dominant aggressive masculinities, through selection, competition and fear, and through distorted curricular emphases on narrow cognitive areas of learning. However, the paper also outlines some ‘possibilities for hope’, such as resilient schools, the impact of peace education initiatives and the rise of global citizenship education.

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.
