Summary
The text examines the role of peace education in transforming societies from a reliance on military solutions to a culture of peace. It discusses various typologies of peace education, its implementation in formal and informal settings, and specifically evaluates its application and potential in South Africa and the wider sub-Saharan African region. The author contends that investing in peace educators is significantly more cost-effective than maintaining military budgets and is a necessary component of sustainable regional security.
Key insights
- Demilitarisation requires a 'demilitarisation of the mind,' which is achieved through education by changing people's orientation away from viewing military force as the only solution to problems.
