Peace education developing global values among teachers through teacher education curriculum

The need for peace education is compellingly clear in the light of the escalating trends of, and taste for, violence globally, nationally, and locally. Education can significantly contribute to the long-term process of building up peace – tolerance, justice, intercultural understanding and civic responsibility. It is a concern cutting across the curriculum and is the concern of all teachers. Thus, training of teachers for consolidation and promotion of education for peace is a very delicate and, at the same time, challenging task. Therefore, twenty-first century encompasses a vision where training and orientation of education for peace is well integrated in to the teaching-learning process and enabling the teachers and learners to be the makers of peace rather than only consumers of peace.
