Abstract

Over the last few years, attacks on education have received increased attention and awareness with a wealth of reporting illustrating that students, educators, and educational institutions continue to be threatened or harassed in multiple ways. The assaults stretch to more than mere brutality; they distort the learning process and ensue into hostile spaces for people of academia. This reaffirms the importance of identifying and eliminating these vulnerabilities in a global system that purports to protect education as one minimal aspect acknowledged by the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights. More often than not, attacks on education are fueled by political enmity, gender inequality, and resistance to cultural change illustrating the complicated interplay in regions where education is under attack. This voice depicts the responsibility of the world to work together on mitigating these issues, as the betterment of education lies deeper in this challenge addressed rightly a safe space for the learning environment could be maintained properly.
