Join us for a talk with Dana Burde, Assistant Professor, New York University, on the role of community-based schools in countering Afghan Taliban violent attacks on education. The paper draws on observational data of community-based schools in Afghanistan to examine the types of violence that affects education in Afghanistan and to explore the ways in which community-based schools may be less vulnerable to these types of attacks. It argues that community-based schools can help reduce the likelihood and frequency of ideological and criminal attacks on education that affect both the demand and supply of education services. Community-based schools do this by eliminating the need for school buildings and reducing distance to school. It offers a summary of constraints and opportunities that these schools present.
