On 11-12 March 2009, education experts joined peace mediators, representatives of governments and the United Nations, and non-governmental organizations to examine how quality education can be prioritised in peace processes, and become a reality for all children living in conflict-affected countries.
We encourage you to consider the results of their discussions, in this specific set of recommendations that, if carried through, would ensure education is prioritised in ongoing and future peace processes. Download the Conference Report
