… EDUCATION FOR PEACE …<\/p>\n

An article from Philippine News Agency<\/a><\/p>\n

DAVAO CITY\u00a0\u2013 Peace education is not only about learning the culture of peace but also about having the right mindset and skills to defuse potentially violent conflict situations, an official said Thursday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU) Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said peace education must be geared toward building competencies among stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace education approaches should aim to go beyond curriculum development and must be geared towards building particular competencies, values, and practices that can be effectively applied outside the classroom,\u201d said Galvez, who graced the 1st National Peace Education Summit here from\u00a0 Sept. 26-27.<\/p>\n

At least 100 peace education champions across the country converged during the two-day summit, which would provide recommendations on how to promote peace and understanding in the basic and higher education sectors.<\/p>\n

Galvez said the summit seeks to facilitate more robust peace constituency-building interventions through partnerships and network-building of peace education in the country.<\/p>\n

He also underscored the role that the academe plays in promoting the culture of peace, as they can help in weeding out violence, hazing, and bullying, especially in the formative years of young learners.<\/p>\n

“Peace education is vital in providing spaces to generate important lessons on negotiations, mediation, conflict resolution, fraternity, common good, justice, and unity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Issued in 2006, Executive Order (EO) No. 570, entitled \u201cInstitutionalizing Peace Education in Basic Education and Teacher Education,\u201d paved the way for the implementation of peace education activities in academic institutions throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Since the issuance of EO 570, the OPAPRU began efforts to mainstream peace education in the country\u2019s education curriculum.<\/p>\n

However, these were not sustained, as the agency\u2019s initiatives were focused on the implementation of peace agreements.<\/p>\n

Last year, the signing of EO 158 entitled \u201cStrengthening the Policy Framework on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity and Reorganizing the Government\u2019s Administrative Structure for the Purpose,\u201d put peace education at the core of OPAPRU\u2019s peacebuilding strategies.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte highlighted the need to revitalize the mainstreaming of peace education efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to collaborating with the community of peace education practitioners who have developed peace education teaching exemplars and are implementing peace education programs,\u201d Duterte said in her message which was read by DepEd Assistant Secretary Dexter Galba.<\/p>\n

Duterte urged the peace builders to help the children and the youth heal from the trauma brought by armed conflict and to protect them from being recruited into joining violent groups like the New People’s Army.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
