A Report by The Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack A global study of attacks on education and the military use of schools in 2024 and 2025. Attacks on education and the military use of schools in the context of armed conflict—as well as the numbers of students and staff killed, injured, abducted, or otherwise harmed—were higher than ever recorded. In the 28 countries profiled in this report, education has been targeted in attacks, or schools and univeristies have been used for military purposes. Attacks on Education Continued Global Escalation Attacks on education rose globally in 2024 and 2025 against the backdrop of increasing conflict, decreasing restraint, and eroding global norms in several regions. The Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) recorded at least 8,566 attacks on education, more than a 40% increase compared to 2022-2023. Attacks during 2024 and 2025 harmed at least 10,600 school and university students, teachers, professors, and education personnel. Attacks on schools remained the most prevalent form of attack on education with over 3,000, making up over one third of all reported attacks on education and military use, and harming over 1,000 students and staff. Attacks on schools were identified in all but one of the countries profiled in the report. GCPEA identified reports of attacks on education in 83 countries during the reporting period. This included the 28 countries profiled in this report as well as 55 countries where GCPEA identified reports of isolated or occasional attacks on education or that experienced attacks on education, but were not in armed conflict.
