Aim of peace education

The main aim of peace education is to educate the learners towards the situations in which they live.Due to awareness about their oppressive and exploitative conditions they become capable of initiating efforts to eliminate structural violence which is the cause of physical violence.Magnus Heavelsrud says that conscientious effort would be instrumental in the struggle for social justice on global as well as local levels including chandes in the formal education system.The main ain of peace education is also to assure the creation of culture of how  peace protects all,including those who are affected with poverty, sickness,bereavement, unemployment and  oppression.On the whole it protects masses from all types of exploitation.
Some educators define peace education in terms of international and global problems whereas others define the contents in relation to every day life situations in which the individual is an important actor.However,education for peace involves the principle of problem posing curriculum.Hence peace education should comprise curriculm that aims at teaching jutice, non violence,human rights disarmament and environmental problems and issues relevant to peace
