Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education in Central Asia (UNESCO, 2019)

Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education in Central Asia (UNESCO, 2019)
Education has a powerful role to play in long-term prevention of violent extremism by equipping learners with the right skills and competencies, increasing employment opportunities and empowering youth. This policy brief aims to provide a better understanding of Preventing Violent Extremism through Education (PVE-E) and the relevant policy interventions that could be taken.

PVE-E consists of building learners’ resilience to violent extremism and making sure that educational environments do not become a breeding ground for radicalization. In practice, PVE-E programmes consist in strengthening the capacities of national education systems—through the development of policies, educational content (curricula), teachers’ competencies and teaching methodologies, as well as learning environments and strategic communications—so that they are able to build safe environments as part of national prevention efforts.
