It's time to face the facts about how children's education is vitally important for the wellbeing of any country. See how war negatively impacts this.

1. By: John Slifko

2. War disrupts the normal
trajectory of children's lives,
due to the fact that tens of
thousands of children are
forced out of their schools
during these times.

3. Children who might have
finished high school by the age
of 18 are now child soldiers or
have been in refugee camps for
so long that they have no
education at all.

4. Getting a proper
education can keep war
from happening in
certain areas by making
the area more civilized.

5. Education is massively
important, and it’s time to
start facing the facts about
how it is affecting our civil
society as a whole.

6. LEAVING
SCHOOL
Many children are forced
to run for their lives, as
they are in immediate
danger for trying to
attend school. This splits
apart families and causes
children to have to start
working to provide for
themselves or to join
armies themselves to
survive.

7. Refugee camps do not
start out with
educational facilities in
them. Those that have
some educational
resources are fortunate
but have them in
extremely small
quantities.

8. CREATING AN
UNDERDEVELOPED
COUNTRY
According to the Peace Pledge
Union, “As the conflict continues
without an end in sight and
humanitarian organisations
continue to struggle to provide the
immediate material needs of the
victims of the war, it is increasingly
possible that a whole generation
might be left without a basic
education. This turn of events alone
will plummet a developed country
into an underdeveloped country.”

9. This slowly starts to
deteriorate a country’s
ability to conduct
business, plummeting
the economy further
and further down.
