Abstract

The goal of the study is to learn what the instructors in Arunachal Pradesh secondary schools think about the inclusion of peace education in the modules. It sought to investigate their perspectives, difficulties, and willingness to incorporate practices of peace education into their pedagogy. In order to achieve this, the researchers evaluated the quality of peace education in two secondary schools and one semi-government residential school in the lower and Dibang Valley using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. They used tactics like group talks, observations, and interviews to interview 12 individuals from these districts. In order to gather information, the researchers spoke with class teachers and principals at each school, held interviews with district stakeholders, and generally engaged themselves as responsible and exemplary citizens. The results showed that educators and interested parties stressed how crucial it is to include peace education in the modules.
