part two: did you know war affects children’s education this badly?

By: John Slifko

War disrupts the normaltrajectory of children's lives,

due to the fact that tens ofthousands of children areforced out of their schools

during these times.

Children who might havefinished high school by the ageof 18 are now child soldiers or

have been in refugee camps forso long that they have no

education at all.

Getting a propereducation can keep war

from happening incertain areas by makingthe area more civilized.

Education is massivelyimportant, and it’s time tostart facing the facts abouthow it is affecting our civil

society as a whole.

Many children are forcedto run for their lives, asthey are in immediatedanger for trying to

attend school. This splitsapart families and causeschildren to have to startworking to provide forthemselves or to joinarmies themselves to

survive.

Refugee camps do notstart out with

educational facilities inthem. Those that have

some educationalresources are fortunate

but have them inextremely small

quantities.

CREATING ANUNDERDEVELOPED

COUNTRYAccording to the Peace Pledge

Union, “As the conflict continueswithout an end in sight andhumanitarian organisations

continue to struggle to provide theimmediate material needs of the

victims of the war, it is increasinglypossible that a whole generation

might be left without a basiceducation. This turn of events alonewill plummet a developed countryinto an underdeveloped country.”

This slowly starts todeteriorate a country’s

ability to conductbusiness, plummetingthe economy further

and further down.
