We investigate the role of education in the reintegration of war-affected youth in Uganda by combining participant-observation data with a micro-level survey of different educational settings. By examining the effects of different educational settings upon the reintegration of war-affected youth in contemporary Uganda, we show that the greater the level of discipline, if embedded within a community-oriented structure, the greater the chance for effective reintegration of war-affected youth within their social settings. Additionally, the more targeted the use of financial resources, as long as they go beyond a basic threshold, the greater the chance for education to work as an engine for the reintegration of war-affected youth
