任何儿童都不该用生命换教育——“保护教育免受攻击日”再敲警钟
No Child Should Pay for Education With Their Life – International Day to Protect
日内瓦消息——
2025年，在联合国设立“保护教育免受攻击国际日”的第六个年头，最新数据显示，冲突地区针对教育的暴力袭击仍在急剧升级。2022至2023年间，全球共发生6,000余起针对学生、教育工作者和教育设施的袭击事件，其中学校被用于军事目的的案例增加了20%，超过10,000名学生遭到杀害、绑架、逮捕或伤害。
尤其令人震惊的是，过去一年冲突地区针对学校的袭击增加了44%。这不仅造成数以千计的儿童和教师死亡、受伤或被掳走，更撕裂了整个社区赖以延续的未来。
联合国秘书长关于儿童与武装冲突的报告显示，2024年共有41,370起严重侵害儿童的事件被核实，创下近30年来最高纪录。受影响最严重的地区包括：加沙、以色列和巴勒斯坦被占领土、刚果（金）、索马里、尼日利亚和海地。报告还指出，针对学校的袭击增加了44%，性暴力事件上升了34%，多重严重侵害的儿童人数增加了17%。
“学校不是战场，孩子不该用生命来换取学习的机会。”——这是联合国及合作伙伴今天在日内瓦高级别活动“挑战叙事，重塑行动”上传递的最强烈信息。
尽管挑战重重，仍有积极迹象。2024年有16,500名曾与武装团体有关的儿童获得保护或重返社会支持，超过20万名儿童自2005年以来被冲突各方释放。叙利亚、伊拉克、菲律宾等国家也在努力落实承诺，逐步走出“儿童与武装冲突”黑名单。
【评论】
教育是人类社会的基石，但在冲突阴影下，课堂正被炮火淹没。
- 当学校变成战场，当书本被枪声打断，每一名失学的孩子，都是世界共同未来的流失。
- 数据背后，是一双双惊恐的眼睛、一次次被迫的告别。教育应是和平的庇护，而非暴力
的前线。
时报广场全球直播间呼吁：各国政府必须履行《安全学校宣言》，加大对教育体系的投资，确保每个孩子都能在安全环境中学习。任何借口都不能掩盖一个事实——保护孩子，就
是守护未来。

Geneva —
On the sixth observance of the International Day to Protect Education from Attack (2025),the numbers tell a grim story. Between 2022 and 2023, there were more than 6,000 incidents targeting students, educators, and schools. The use of schools for militarypurposes rose by 20%, and more than 10,000 students were killed, abducted, detained, or injured.
Most alarming: attacks on schools in conflict zones surged by 44% in the past year.Thousands of children and teachers have been killed, injured, or traumatized, leaving entire
communities devastated.
The UN Secretary-General’s 2024 report on Children and Armed Conflict verified 41,370 grave violations against children—the highest in nearly three decades. The worst-affected
areas included Gaza, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Nigeria, and Haiti. Attacks on schools rose by 44%, incidents of rape and
sexual violence increased by 34%, and children subjected to multiple grave violations rose by 17%.
At today’s high-level event in Geneva, themed “Challenging Narratives, Reframing Action,”UN officials and partners stressed a clear message: schools are not battlefields, and children
should never pay for education with their lives.
Despite the dire context, there are glimmers of progress. In 2024, nearly 16,500 children associated with armed groups received protection or reintegration support, bringing the total released since 2005 to over 200,000. Commitments and agreements—such as those with armed groups in Syria—offer cautious optimism that change is possible.
