Education and conflict - What the evidence says
| CSCW/PRIO | 2011
This policy brief summarizes the key conclusions from the first systematic review of the empirical, quantitative literature on the relationship between education and civil conflict.
Evidence from 30 statistical studies indicates that
- Increasing education levels overall has pacifying effects
- Rapid expansion of higher education is not a threat
- Education inequalities between groups increase conflict risk
- The content and quality of education might spur conflict
- Terrorists are well-above-average educated
The policy recommendations in this brief emerge from consulting work conducted for UNESCO's 2011 Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report. We recommend that (a) future research pay increas-ing attention to subnational and individual level effects; (b) new data be collected to study how conflict is affected by the content and quality of education; and (c) policies be implemented to reduce education ine-qualities.
