One of the fundamental goals of education is to impart culture and values across the generations. Value education, is generally understood to cut across the curriculum and is appropriately integrated into all courses as well as into the extracurricular activities and ethos of schools. Today, the true challenge of value education remains the development of a universal conscience that puts human rights, pluralist democracy and the equality of all human beings as the most important values that we may share. The book describes the need and importance of value education and education for human rights in the existing social scenario. It will be of interest to teacher, teacher educators and parents and will be appreciated by all who are concerned with the cause of value education.
Over the past five decades, both peace education and human rights education have emerged distinctly and separately as global fields of scholarship and practice. Promoted through multiple efforts (the United Nations, civil society, grassroots educators), both of these fields consider content, processes, and educational structures that seek to dismantle various forms of violence, as well as move towards cultures of peace, justice and human rights. Educating for Peace and Human Rights Education introduces students and educators to the challenges and possibilities of implementing peace and human rights education in diverse global sites. The book untangles the core concepts that define both fields, unpacking their histories and conceptual foundations, and presents models and key research findings to help consider their intersections, convergences, and divergences. Including an annotated bibliography, the book sets forth a comprehensive research agenda, allowing emerging and seasoned scholars the opportunity to situate their research in conversation with the global fields of peace and human rights education.
