In the eastern provinces of the DRC — especially North Kivu, South Kivu and Ituri — the longstanding conflict has directly attacked the education system. For example: between January 2022 and March 2023, at least 2,100 schools were forced to stop operating in North Kivu and Ituri.
In the war-torn eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, education has become one of the conflict’s silent casualties. In North Kivu, South Kivu, and Ituri, thousands of schools have been damaged, closed, or abandoned as violence spreads through communities. Between January 2022 and March 2023, more than 2,100 schools were forced to shut down, leaving countless children without access to learning. Some school buildings have been looted, others occupied by armed groups or turned into shelters for displaced families. Teachers have fled for safety, and children now face the risk of recruitment or exploitation. Each closed school represents not just lost lessons, but lost futures. The attack on education is an attack on the nation’s hope itself.

Armed groups have attacked more than 150 schools in North Kivu just since January of one year, affecting over 62,000 children.
In many cases schools are not just closed, but occupied by armed actors, repurposed as shelters or bases, or directly damaged.
Since the start of the year, armed groups in North Kivu have launched attacks on more than 150 schools, shattering the dreams of over 62,000 children. What were once safe spaces for learning have turned into battlegrounds of fear. Many schools are now occupied by armed actors, used as bases or shelters, leaving classrooms in ruins. Desks lie empty, books are scattered, and teachers are forced to flee for their lives. For thousands of children, education has been replaced by uncertainty and trauma. These attacks don’t just destroy buildings — they destroy the foundation of hope, stability, and peace for an entire generation.

Huge numbers of children are out of school: in eastern DRC, over 795,000 children are now being deprived of education, up from around 465,000 just months earlier
In eastern DRC, the number of children deprived of education has skyrocketed, with over 795,000 now out of school, up from roughly 465,000 just months earlier. The ongoing conflict has forced schools to close, displaced families, and left classrooms empty. Children are missing out not only on lessons, but also on the safety, routine, and social interaction that schools provide. Teachers are often unable to work, and many families cannot afford alternative learning options. This growing education gap threatens the future of an entire generation. Without urgent intervention, these children risk losing both knowledge and opportunity. Education, a basic right, has become a casualty of war.
