  • Peace has stood at the core of UNESCO’s mandate since its very inception almost 70 years ago. But how can this grand vision be translated into the reality of classrooms, schools and education systems? Earlier this year, UNESCO’s Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education published a regional study on ‘Learning to Live Together’, that explores this question by looking at all levels of education systems – national policy frameworks, curricula, teacher policies and strategies, and assessment. The findings are drawn from ten countries in the region – Afghanistan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, The Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand – many of which could be relevant worldwide. In commemoration of the 2014 International Day of Peace, the following extract from the report entitled Learning to Live Together: Education policies and realities in the Asia-Pacific provides an overview on how education systems have, and can, work towards a more peaceful and sustainable world.
