This paper looks first at the contributions that education makes to conflict, through the reproduction of inequality and exclusion, through perpetuation of ethnic or religious divisions, through its acceptance of dominant aggressive masculinities, through selection, competition and fear, and through distorted curricular emphases on narrow cognitive areas of learning. However, the paper also outlines some โpossibilities for hopeโ, such as resilient schools, the impact of peace education initiatives and the rise of global citizenship education.
