Peace is a deliberate, hard to make, at times 'impossible' choice; it's not something that simply 'happens'.It's the responsibility of all, not the duty of a few.The most effective way to instil this knowledge in an ever-conflicted world is undoubtedly to include Peace Studies in the curriculum.Efforts at introducing Peace Education (PE) began in 1945 with the UNESCO declaring that "since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed".Peace Education was contended to be the only means to create and sustain a long-term change in the thought and action of future generations which could possibly result in the absence of violence and the presence of social justice.PE was therefore designed to cultivate the knowledge, skills, attitudes, norms and behaviours conducive to the emergence and sustenance of peace, and also to aid the creating of systems that would actualize non-violence, non-discrimination, social justice, environmental care and sustainable development.The scope of PE later on widened to incorporate Gender Studies, Human Rights Education
