The main topic in UNESCO’s September newsletter is the global spike in attacks on education. According to a study by the Global Coalition for Protecting Education from Attack, of which UNESCO is a member, 6,000 attacks against students, professionals and educational institutions, including 1,000 cases of military use of these institutions, were recorded worldwide in 2022-2023 – an average of 8 per day. This represents a 20% increase on the previous two years. More than 10,000 students and educators are believed to have been victims.
