Abstract:
“A candle loses none of its light by lighting another candle.”- Thomas Jefferson. ‘Education for peace’ stands on four pillar mainly peace concepts, peace initiatives, peace values and peace skills. There are plenty of things said and initiated too, but there are few who stand for its values and carry forward with the apt skills that one need to possess and become ambassadors of peace. If we want to see education for peace actively functioning, that it should begin from every one of us and surely to achieve the crown being our best here on earth or thereafter as like noble laureates immortal. EFP calls for change of mind set, change in attitudes improve skills, approaches and living in harmony with oneself and with others. This paper discusses means and possible interventions of EFP within the system of education set up and analyses the peace values and peace skills among the secondary schools of Karnataka in the student perspective. Hence taking education for peace (EFP) forward is individual and collective responsibility.
