This book explores how, and if, formal education affects
peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. As schooling is often
negatively implicated in violent conflict, the author highlights
the widely expressed need to 'build back better' and 'transform'
schooling by changing both its structures and processes, and its
curriculum. Drawing upon research from a wide range of
post-conflict developing societies including Cambodia, Colombia and
Kenya, the author examines whether there is any empirical support
for the idea that schooling can be transformed so it can contribute
to more peaceful and democratic societies. In doing so, the author
reveals how the 'myth' of building back better is perpetuated by
academics and international organisations, and explains why formal
education in post-conflict developing societies is so impervious to
radical change. This important volume will appeal to students and
scholars of education in post-conflict societies.
