This visual on attacks on education in Syria provides a summary analysis of verified and unverified incidents of attacks on schools, attacks on education personnel, threats of such attacks and the military use of schools, from the beginning of the Syrian conflict in March 2011 until December 2017. This data set is a product of collaboration between the Whole of Syria education sector and the Security Council resolution 1612 (2005)-mandated Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM) on grave violations against children in Syria.
Footnote to the dataThe numbers provided above are not necessarily indicative of the overall scale of the problem, but rather of the incidents it was possible for the Whole of Syria education sector and the Syria MRM to capture depending on presence on the ground and prevailing access constraints. While the data set provides a summary analysis of trends of attacks on education in Syria, the numbers are likely to be higher and will be revised as more information becomes available. ‘Verified’ cases are confirmed by the United Nations through primary sources; ‘unverified’ cases are documented through reliable secondary sources.
