SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 92
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Schools are uniquely placed to break patterns of violence and provide skills to communicate, negotiate and support peaceful settlements of conflict. Education has a unique potential to generate a positive environment where attitudes condoning violence can be changed and non-violent behaviour can be learned. This is relevant for all ages, but particularly during early childhood. An environment free from violence in all its forms, including gender-based violence, is also instrumental in the promotion of the Millennium Development Goals, particularly in ensuring universal primary education to all children and eliminating gender disparity in education.
