Share your views about Education in settings of conflict and displacement

In my context, education can be seen in all four ways: as a victim, perpetrator, liberator, and peacebuilder. It is a victim because conflict and instability can disrupt schooling and create fear for students and teachers. It can be a perpetrator when some groups are excluded or when biased knowledge is taught, which can create division. However, education is also a liberator because it helps students think critically, understand their rights, and imagine a better future. It becomes a peacebuilder when teachers promote respect, inclusion, and dialogue in the classroom. Schools are often targeted because they represent authority and influence young people. As teachers, we can support critical thinking by encouraging discussion, asking questions, and connecting lessons to real life. We can promote peace by creating a safe and inclusive environment, teaching respect for diversity, and helping students resolve conflicts peacefully.
