More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between formal education and peacebuilding, this book investigates the potential for transforming schooling in post-conflict societies. It critiques the notion of "building back better," drawing on research from countries like Cambodia, Colombia, and Kenya to assess the empirical support for educational reform aimed at fostering peace and democracy. The author argues that the resistance to significant change in educational structures and curricula is perpetuated by academic and international narratives, making this work essential for those studying education in conflict-affected regions.
