A Pathway to Sustainable Peace in Pakistan: Developing an Integration Framework of Peace Education into the Curriculum of Teacher Education

Sustainable peace is the ultimate aim of any society, and it is possible through peace teachings. Using the constructivist paradigm, the researcher applied a qualitative survey approach. The population consisted of all faculty members from 85 general public sector universities in Pakistan, while the sample comprised 20 faculty members who were teaching to the B.Ed. (Hons) Elementary 4-year classes with 6-8 semesters were selected through a simple random sampling technique. A structured interview schedule was used to collect data, and a narrative analysis process, as suggested by Cohen in 2018 was adopted. It was concluded that no comprehensive integration framework for peace education in teacher education is available. Therefore, it was recommended that the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan implement it to achieve sustainable peace in Pakistan.
