On September 9, 2020, the international community commemorated the first-ever International Day to Protect Education from Attack, highlighting the importance of safeguarding education in armed conflict and holding perpetrators of such attacks accountable. More than 22,000 students, teachers, and academics were injured, killed, or harmed in attacks on education during armed conflict or insecurity over the past five years, according to a recent report by the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA).
