Civil war, and genocide in particular, are among the most destructive of social phenomena, especially for children of school-going age. In Rwanda school enrollment trends suggest that the school system recovered quickly after 1994, but these numbers do not tell the full story. Two cross-sectional household surveys collected before and after the genocide are used to compare children in the same age group who were and were not exposed to the genocide - and their educational outcomes are substantially different. Children exposed to the genocide experienced a drop in educational achievement of almost one-half year of completed schooling, and are 15 percentage points less likely to complete third or fourth grade. Sustained effort is needed to reinforce educational institutions and offer a "second chance" to those youth most affected by the conflict.Date

Republic of Madagascar : Mitigating the Impact of the Crisis on EducationWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-02-12)This report reviews the tools and
 mechanisms which could contribute to offsetting the negative
 effects of the current crisis on primary school outcomes in
 Madagascar. In a context of rapid deterioration of key
 education indicators, including enrollment and survival, key
 education stakeholders are faced with the challenging task
 of identifying tools and mechanisms that may contribute to
 rapidly restoring access to education. While a variety of
 programs have been implemented in the past, limited evidence
 exists on their potential impact on key factors influencing
 school outcomes. In addition, given the limited domestic and
 international resources at the disposal of policy-makers,
 priorities need to be established that will focus on the
 most urgent and important aspects of the current situation.
 This report aims at providing key stakeholders in the sector
 with information on existing tools and mechanisms that could
 potentially be used to put a halt to the rapid decline of
 the sectors. The analysis also identifies interventions with
 a strong potential to offset the effects of the crisis over
 the short and medium term.
