(GCPEA) – More than 150,000 children are missing out on education because of violence and attacks that have seen over 600 schools damaged in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Other schools in the Greater Kasai region have been occupied by military forces or are being used as emergency shelters for displaced families. Even where schools have not been directly affected, many children and teachers are unwilling to attend classes because of the fear of violence or attacks.
