Abstract

Westernised peace-promoting curricula have been increasingly imported in conflict-affected countries, but they have limited capacity to adapt to local contexts and address unique issues relating to war-related trauma, political contentions and displacement of teachers and families. In this paper, I argue that this disconnection could be manifested in incoherence and failures to contribute to stability against contradictory positioning of liberal and more radical schools for competitive ideological dominance at the national level, which could potentially serve as drivers of conflict.
