Between 2015 and 2019, more than 9,100 university students and personnel were injured, killed, abducted, arrested, or otherwise harmed, according to Education Under Attack 2020, a global study authored by the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA).
The first session of the IIE-SRF Dialogues webinar series, which was co-hosted by IIE-SRF and GCPEA, focused on the topic of “Attacks on Higher Education”. The discussion featured poignant remarks from:
- Dr. Allan E. Goodman, IIE’s President & CEO
- Dr. Peter Wells, Chief of Section of Higher Education, UNESCO
- Dr. Marika Tsolakis, GCPEA Lead Researcher for Education Under Attack 2020, and Dr. Jerome Marston, GCPEA Researcher
- James Robin King, IIE-SRF’s Director
- Dr. Hasan Maridi, IIE-SRF scholar from Yemen
