"Education – the right kind of quality education – can... heal divisions and the traumas of war.
A school can and should be a place of peace."
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia, in the foreword to our report Where Peace Begins
Today's schools hold tomorrow's leaders and opinion makers, yet 37 million children are growing up with the effects of war and conflict and not going to school. Every day we are losing the opportunity to build peace through education.
