Episode: Protecting education from attack during COVID-19: a new day, a new call to action
Description: Efforts to protect students, teachers, and schools during times of armed conflict will get extra attention this week due to the inaugural UN International Day for the Protection of Education from Attack and a dedicated UN Security Council meeting on the topic.
