Education Inequality and Violent Conflict:  Evidence and Policy Considerations 

Equity is at the heart of the new global development agenda, with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) prioritizing a fair, inclusive world, where futures are not determined by one’s wealth, ethnicity, sex, or other socioeconomic factors. The promise of education is to provide a pathway to greater equity, while violent conflict threatens development, with the potential to undo years of progress and investments in development. Until now, limited evidence existed on the relationship between educational equity and violent conflict. A study, commissioned by UNICEF and completed by the FHI 360 Education Policy and Data Center, sought to change this using the largest dataset constructed to date, with data from across nearly 100 countries and over a 50 year timespan.
