Comparativeand International Education Educating Children in Conflict Zones Research, Policy, and Practice for Systemic Change— A Tribute to Jackie Kirk Edited by Karen Mundy, Director, Comparative, International, and Development Education Centre (CIDEC), Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto (OISE/UT), and Sarah Dryden-Peterson, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada postdoctoral fellow affiliated with CIDEC New Edition NEW “This book captures the voices of children and teachers in their craving for a better world. Education is the key to that world. Inspiring and refreshing, this book is hopeful. Its new ideas give promise to children living in conflict for the chance at a quality education, a better future, and lives of peace.” —Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu “This volume is a wonderful testimony to the passionate pursuit that animated Jackie Kirk...a remarkable collaboration of impressive colleagues.” —George Rupp, President and CEO, International Rescue Committee Best Seller 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, the volume provides a comprehensive and critical overview of the links between conflict and children’s access to education, 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.
