Without education children's futures are bleak.
More than 43 million children affected by armed conflict are facing a future without education — without hope. During times of conflict, families split up and survival, not school, becomes the most urgent concern.

Children and young people face injury, trauma and death, but also face the prospect of being forced to become soldiers or sex slaves. They face new responsibilities such as earning a living or caring for siblings.

Conflict can destroy school buildings and supply systems for teaching materials. Teachers and administrators are often among the dead or displaced. Those children who have access to school often receive very poor quality education. Even when conflict had ended, their futures are damaged because of the learning time they've lost.
