A Critical View of Peace as Educational Practice

In contradiction to the past, the education system during the last decade has accepted the task of transforming peace from a "vision" into a "way of life" and to translating this value into educational practice. At the same time, this objective has met criticism, coming from inside as well as outside the system, that focused on three main claims: education for peace is political education that mixes indoctrination with education, places the burden of responsibility on the shoulders of the student and her heritage and is marked by וmpracticality.
