Alarming levels of attacks on schools must end, Save the Children says ahead of key global safe schools conference

(Save the Children) – World leaders must take decisive action to immediately stop the targeting of schools and students in dozens of conflict-affected countries worldwide and hold perpetrators accountable, Save the Children is warning. The call comes ahead of the Second International Conference on Safe Schools taking place on 28 and 29 March in Buenos Aires, which will bring together representatives from more than 60 countries and aims to secure firm commitments to protect students, teachers and schools from attacks. This global moment will also be an opportunity for states to endorse the Safe Schools Declaration that vows greater protections for students and teachers during war.
