EDUCATION FOR PEACE .<\/p>\n

Abstract from the thesis of Priya Darshini Baligadoo at Nottingham University<\/a><\/p>\n

This thesis explores young boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 perceptions and experiences of their schooling in the small island developing state of Mauritius. It brings to the forefront problems related to cultural and structural violence that can hamper a peaceful schooling in three state secondary schools: a single-sex girls\u2019 school, a single-sex boys\u2019 school and a mixed school which also promote the educational theories of M.K. Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. The findings reveal that there can be a \u2018fideistic\u2019 attitude to Gandhi and Tagore in this context, which highlight the need for a critical peace education that question taken-for-granted assumptions. It also shows that in schools, problems can be hidden and not discussed.<\/p>\n

Where is peace education taking place?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Continued from left column)<\/p>\n

The methodology was based on a participatory worldview that asserts the importance of a \u2018holistic inquiry\u2019 and learning from the \u2018Other\u2019 for peaceful coexistence. In this regard, there can be serious ethical challenges for a \u2018native\u2019 researcher to conduct participatory research with young people in a small-connected community like Mauritius.<\/p>\n

The research also brings together various philosophies of education and peace for the promotion of peace education. It builds on commonalities from the East and West to highlight the importance of the \u2018holistic\u2019 in peace education. It promotes the concept of \u2018wholeness\u2019 as much emphasised in the East. The research was informed by M.K. Gandhi\u2019s, Rabindranath Tagore\u2019s and Maria Montessori\u2019s educational theories for peace. It was also gender-sensitive and promoted a \u2018peace-focused-feminism\u2019, which is grounded in the Eastern philosophies of \u2018Yin\u2019 and \u2018Yang\u2019, \u2018Shakti\u2019 and \u2018Shiva\u2019 and \u2018Prakriti\u2019 and \u2018Purusha\u2019.<\/p>\n
