Description: The aim of
'Reshaping the Future' is to draw international attention to the key role that
education can play in both preventing conflict and in reconstructing
post-conflict societies. The author also hopes to alert developing countries
and donors alike to the devastating consequences of conflict on a country's
education systems and outcomes, as well to emphasize the importance of maximizing
the opportunities to reform education systems presented by a reconstruction
setting, adopting a long-term development perspective, and emphasizing equity
and quality in the delivery of education services.
Every education
system has the potential to exacerbate the conditions that contribute to
violent conflict. Based on this notion, the author argues that education
warrants high priority in both humanitarian response and post-conflict
reconstruction. The central message of this book is that education plays key
role in both conflict prevention and in the reconstruction of post-conflict
societies. It highlights significant findings on education and post-conflict
reconstruction drawn from thorough research and literature review, a survey and
database of key indicators for 52 conflict-affected countries, and a review of
12 country studies.
