Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the impact of conflict upon higher education. It begins by assessing the impact of high levels of violence and insecurity on higher education during and after conflict and the measures taken to protect the sector. A range of impacts of conflict on the sector are then analysed including the human cost of death and displacement, physical destruction, issues of access and equity, and psycho-social needs. The final section considers examples of resilience of higher education during conflict and the important of the state for mediating the impact of conflict on higher education systems.
