Education For Peace

Peace is a necessary condition for the sustainable development of any nation. It is described as the absence of physical and structural violence, and the presence of justice. Peace education involves human rights and conflict resolution education. This justifies the prominence of peace and conflict resolution education in the educational agenda of nations. Based on this, the paper examines the management of tertiary education for peace and conflict resolution in Nigeria. The population of the study comprised lecturers from the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences from the Universities of Benin, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Uyo, totalling 2312. A sample of 231 lecturers was drawn for the study using the Cluster Sampling Technique. One research question and one null hypothesis were considered in this study. Data collection was done using a structured instrument tagged, "Managing Tertiary Education for Peace and Conflict Resolution" (MTEPCR) Questionnaire. The Instrument was duly validated and tested for reliability using the Cronbach Alpha reliability formula. This gave a reliability coefficient of 0.81. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and simple percentage were used to answer the research question. The null hypothesis was tested at 0.05 alpha level, the one-way ANOVA. The result of the study indicated a low extent in the implementation of peace and conflict resolution education in tertiary institutions. There was no substantial difference in the implementation of peace and conflict resolution education among four federal universities. Based on these findings, key policy, practice and research implications are discussed.

Analyze Data

This study was embarked upon with a view to examining the need for peace in the management of tertiaryinstitutions towards enhancing academic performance in south-south Nigeria. Three hypotheses and one researchquestion guided the study. One thousand, two hundred and nineteen (1219) academic and non-academic staff wereselected for the study. A 31 item researcher developed questionnaire was used to collect data from the sampled staffin their respective institutions. Population t-test and mean scores were used to analyze data collected. Findings showthat peace was advocated but there were serious inadequacies in the implementation and enforcement process ofpeace. Proposed peace was scarcely enforced to the detriment of academic performance. The manner and approachto existing peace management does not actually address the issue of peace building. Based on the findings,recommendations were made which included among others, that conflict resolution and peace education coursesshould be introduced in the school curriculum.
