Description

Inspired by the work of the late Dr. Jacqueline Kirk, this book takes a penetrating look at the challenges of delivering quality education to the approximately 39 million out-of-school children around the world who live in situations affected by violent conflict. With chapters by leading researchers on educaiton in war and other conflict zones, the volume provides a comprehensive and critical overview of the links between conflict and children's access to educaiton, as well as a review of the policies and approaches taken by those offering international assistance in this area. Empirical case studies drawn from diverse contexts, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, and Uganda (among others), offer readers a deeper understanding of the educational needs of these children and the practical challenges to meeting these needs.
