Attacks on schools continue to rise worldwide. In 2025, 1,680 attacks on schools were recorded, a 33% increase from the previous year. On #ProtectEducationFromAttack# Day, @UNESCO calls for stronger protection of education, respect for international law and safe access to learning, even in times of crisis.

Attacks on schools are rising at an alarming rate. @UNESCO & @EAA_Foundation, with the support of the Permanent Delegation of the State of Qatar to UNESCO, launched “The Crossing” at UNESCO HQ, highlighting the growing number of attacks on schools. Education must be protected. #ProtectEducationFromAttack# @QatarAtUNESCO
