Save the Children's "Re-write the Future" campaign is a challenge to the world to ensure that millions of children out-of-school because of conflict are provided with access to quality education. The aim of the campaign is to:

	Ensure access to education for three million children and improve the quality of education for these children and five million more.
	Work to make schools safe, a key tool in protecting children affected by conflict.
	Influence national governments and international institutions to prioritize quality education for conflict-affected children.

Going to school can increase a child's chances of surviving conflict. Schools are vital in protecting children and supporting their emotional and social development by giving them comfort, security and opportunity.

For societies affected by conflict, education is integral to building long-term peace and prosperity.

The legacy of properly resourced schools with well-trained teachers and appropriate curricula is a generation of young people with the skills for employment and an understanding of their rights and the rights of others.

School can also give children the knowledge they need as they become adults, to reduce the chances of conflict happening again.
