Good news. Britain is now backing the Safe Schools Declaration. It should now use its influence to support countries where attacks on schools are commonplace, helping to get soldiers out of schools and children into them. bit.ly/2qMDrSZ

Britain backs the Safe Schools Declaration. This strengthens the growing global consensus that schools must be safe places for all children to learn, develop and thrive - not bases or barracks for soldiers. bit.ly/2qMDrSZ

Good news. Britain has just backed the Safe Schools Declaration. In many countries, attacks on schools are still commonplace. British gov should press, persuade & support these countries to get soldiers out of schools and help get children back into them.”bit.ly/2qMDrSZ
