About
Project Description: The project is a pilot of Peace, Human Rights and Citizenship Education (PEHCED) curriculum as a required subject at all grade levels. UNESCO will support the Ministry of Education to provide in-service training to at least 1300 teachers in Lofa, Nimba and Grand Gedeh counties in effective instruction and to establish permanent support mechanisms from the national to local levels in the education system. The project focus is to provide the students with knowledge and conflict resolution skills to create and promote peaceful co-existence.
Peacebuilding Impact: School going youth form an important core group in the nation constituting about one third of the population. Therefore the effective teaching of peace, human rights and peace education to this group can provide manifold gains to the whole society. While still at school this group interacts actively with their families and the community, hence they would be conveyors of the peace message through dialogue and changed behaviour. At the same time this group consists of future leaders and workers of the nation. If we can positively impact them and create appropriate behaviour change towards peace, reconciliation, appreciation of ethnic diversity, and peaceful conflict resolution then we would have gone a long way towards establishing a culture of peace in Liberia. Specific impacts are: 1) Greater tolerance among students and teachers, contributing towards better living together. 2) Acquisition of non-violent conflict resolution skills among students and teachers, resulting in better conflict management among this group and their communities in general. Outcome(s): Specific outcomes of these interventions include:
Outputs and Key Activities: 1.1) Baseline and post-instruction analysis incidence of violence among teachers and students established in all schools in three counties. 1.2) 1,300 Teachers are trained and equipped with the skills to teach Activities: a) Training 40 master trainers – 10 day workshop b) 10 day workshops in districts in all three counties for teachers to train them in PEHCED instruction c) Refresher training for teachers– led by master trainers, clustering districts according to geographic region d) Printing and distribution of training manuals as well as further development of training materials and printing of manuals
