FOREWORD

Value education is an integral part of quality education. The Kenya vision 2030 underscores the importance of security, peace building and conflict management for social, economic and political development. In the face of

challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation and inequitable access to limited life-sustaining resources, there is potential to either exacerbate existing socio-economic tensions or create new ones leading to conflict and violence. The education sector therefore has the duty to equip young people with requisite knowledge, skills and attitudes for building peace as well as values for constructive intrapersonal, interpersonal and intergroup relations at the national and international levels.

The Government of Kenya is committed to promoting peace and harmonious coexistence among Kenyan. This is reflected in the Kenya Vision 2030 whose social pillar emphasizes promotion of a just and cohesive society, enjoying equitable social development in a clean and secure environment. In line with this, the Ministry of Education Science and Technology (MoEST) initiated the Peace Education Programme in 2008 with a view to enhancing knowledge, skills and values for peace.

The Education Sector Policy on Peace Education provides a framework for promoting peace through education. The policy provides broad guidelines for the coordination and implementation of peace education initiatives within the country. Effective implementation of this policy will help create synergy among players and stakeholders and facilitate implementation of the peace education related initiatives at all levels of education and training. It is envisaged that this will ultimately contribute towards nurturing a culture of peace among learners and the society.

I appeal to all stakeholders and partners in the education sector to use the policy guidelines in the implementation of peace related initiatives. I also urge our partners to continue supporting the education sector in the implementation of strategies in this policy to promote harmonious coexistence in our beloved country.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Education Sector Policy on Peace Education is a product of extensive consultation and collaboration among individuals and institutions. The process of developing this policy began in 2010 when the Ministry constituted a technical

team comprising officers from MoEST, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI), the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development (KICD), Moi University, UNICEF and UNESCO staff. The team held two workshops to develop the initial framework and the first draft policy document. In August 2011, the framework was shared with senior managers from the Ministries of Education Science and Technology, Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Nairobi Peace Initiative (NPI) in Mombasa. Based on the their inputs, the first draft of the policy was developed in a retreat held in Nakuru attended by policy makers from MoEST and representatives from; the Ministry of Justice and National Cohesion, the Ministry of State for Internal Security, the University for Peace in Africa Programme, UNESCO and UNICEF. The draft policy was then subjected to stakeholders review in February 2012 at the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development. In May 2013, a workshop to finalize the Policy was held in Nakuru. The workshop brought together stakeholders from the MoEST, Department of Youth Affairs and Sports, Department of Higher Education, Directorate of Adult and Continuing Education, Kenya Bureau of Statistics, National Steering Committee on Peace Building (NSCPB), KICD, Department of Social Cohesion, Kenya National Commission for UNESCO (KNATCOM), UNESCO, UNICEF, the Association of the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and World Vision Kenya.

The Ministry of Education Science and Technology appreciates the contribution and commitment of the representatives of the organisations who participated in all the above activities. Special thanks go to the technical team that coordinated the policy development process. I wish also appreciate all stakeholders for their inputs during the national stakeholders forum. Special gratitude goes to UNICEF (Kenya Country Office) and UNESCO (KCO) for financial and technical support in the development of this policy.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 BackgroundThroughout the history of humankind, individuals, communities and nations have experienced strained relationships leading to conflicts. Conflict management is therefore critical in ensuring a stable society.

Conflicts impede the realization of national goals and commitments aimed at achieving Education for All (EFA), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Kenya Vision 2030, national agenda and other international commitments. They have a major impact on the systems and institutions that sustain human well-being and the provision of social services.

Education and training alone may not offer immediate remedies to the local and global challenges that face human kind but it can contribute to addressing challenges over time. It has a crucial socialization function through the shaping of personal and collective identities, the formation of responsible citizenship and the promotion of critical social participation, based on principles of respect for life, human dignity and cultural diversity. Conflict-sensitive education and training policies contribute to the development of skills, values and knowledge for peace building1.

In its role as the lever for peace and development, education and training should be seen as a comprehensive framework resting on four pillars: learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and learning to live together. Education and training should also be accessible to all, be of high quality and facilitate the achievement of a just, peaceful and sustainable future.

The Government of Kenya acknowledges the role of peace in enhancing socio-economic development. The national anthem lays emphasis on peaceful coexistence as a prerequisite for nation building while the national goals of education strive to promote sustainable development, peace, social justice and responsibility, respect for diversity, international consciousness, national unity and moral and religious values. The Kenya Vision 2030, which is the blue print for social, economic and political development underscores the need to diffuse a culture of peace and respect for the sanctity of human life through social institutions, in particular through education and training.1 Collier et al 2003: Breaking the Conflict Trap.

sensitive education policy- A Preliminary Review Education Above All (2012)

Issues affecting the youth are increasingly getting limelight in the peace education discourse in the country. The 2009 Kenya National Population census revealed a “youth bulge” in the country’s population demographics. With 43 % of the population under14 years and 35% aged between 15 and 34 years, the population is predominantly youthful. This scenario has potential to cause significant social disruption if the needs of the youth are not addressed. Conversely, MoEST is also alive to the enormous potential for peace building represented by this youth bulge. The provision of relevant education and training to youth, inculcation of peace values, and education for skills and competencies are all avenues Government is using in transforming youth into a powerful force for peace in Kenya.

Literacy is another important enabler of peace. Current data reveals that 7.8 million Kenyans aged 15 years and above are illiterate2. The Global Monitoring Report 2006 indicated that Adult and Continuing Education (ACE) programme graduates in Kenya participated more in election and local associations relative to people with low levels of literacy. For literacy to become an enabler of democracy it cannot be confined to basic skills, hence the need for functional literacy. Arguably, the integration of peace education into ACE will contribute to the production of graduates who are well informed of their civic duties and are able to contribute to the democratic development of the country.

The Peace education was introduced to strengthen peace initiatives implemented through the existing systems and structures in the education and training sector. Though Life Skills Education (LSE), religious studies and social studies, peace education has been integrated into the basic education curriculum as one of the core values to promote peace at the personal, community, national and global levels. Peace education aims to employ participatory, interactive, experiential and transformative teaching approaches that enhance the learner’s ability to internalize knowledge, values, skills and attitudes for peace. Encouraging self-expression through co-curricular activities such as art, music or drama presents important opportunities for transmitting messages of peace, non-violence and respect. Peace clubs also provide a platform where the skills that promote harmonious coexistence can be learned and practiced.

1.2 Rationale Kenya is a signatory to international treaties and conventions that advocate peaceful and harmonious co-existence among people of all nations. The Universal Declaration of

2 Kenya National Literacy Survey Report (2007)

Page 13: EDUCATION SECTOR POLICY ON PEACE EDUCATION

1111

Human Rights (1948) Article 26(2) states that education should promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations. This policy contributes to the actualization of the commitments in Kenya.

African Ministers of Education have committed their Governments to the promotion of peace building through education and training. This is reflected in the Mombasa and Naivasha communiqués signed in 2008 and 2012 respectively. The communiques were outcomes of two international meetings on Peace Education held in Kenya under the auspices of the ADEA3 Inter- Country Quality Node (ICQN) on Peace Education. This policy reflects the spirit of these Communiqués and provides a framework for the implementation of these commitments and recommendations in Kenya.

The implementation of the Peace Education Programme involves various actors. This necessitates proper coordination, collaboration and partnership mechanisms that minimize overlaps and promote targeted resourcing as well as creating synergy in the implementation. The policy provides a framework for effective coordination of various players involved in peace building through the education and training sector.

1.3 Linkages with existing legal and policy documentsThis Policy takes cognizance of the provisions in existing legal, policy instruments, relevant international treaties, and conventions. It is consistent with the following legal and policy documents:

1.3.1 The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 Chapter Four on the Bill of Rights provides for recognition and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms to preserve the dignity of individuals and communities and promotion of social justice and the realization of the potential of all human beings. Article 10 of the constitution spells out the national values and principles of governance in Kenya.

1.3.2 The Basic Education Act 2013Section 4 of the Act on Guiding Principles provides for:

• Promotion of peace, integration, cohesion, tolerance and inclusion as an objective in the provision of basic education.

3 The Association for the Development of Education in Africa

Page 14: EDUCATION SECTOR POLICY ON PEACE EDUCATION

1212

• Elimination of hate speech and tribalism through instruction that promotes the proper appreciation of ethnic diversity and culture in society.

1.3.3 Sessional paper No 14 on reforming Education and Training Sectors in Kenya (2012)

The inculcation of peace through education is covered in several areas of the policy framework. The philosophy (2.2), mandate (2.6) and guiding principles (2.7a and b)sections, refer to learner awareness of national values and aspirations as well as instilling, affirming and enhancing values such as patriotism, national unity, mutual social responsibility, honesty, humility, mutual respect, high moral standards and the ethical and moral foundation of the Kenyan society.

1.3.4 The Kenya Vision 2030The Social, Economic and Political Pillars on Security, Peace building and Conflict Management provide for the promotion of peace building and reconciliation through learning institutions to ensure sustained peace within the country and the inculcation of a culture of peace as a means of preventing and resolving conflicts.

1.3.5 Kenya Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Implementation Strategy

The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Implementation Strategy provides a mechanism for adopting a holistic approach to sustainable development by engaging all sectors and stakeholders. The ESD Strategy for Kenya is a response to the proclamation of the period from 2005-2014 as the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD). The Strategy provides an opportunity for educating the Kenyan people on the importance of sustainable development. Given that the Kenyan economy is driven by agriculture and natural resources, the sustainable use of resources is therefore very important to ensure economic growth and development that is sensitive to the environment (also see 2.5 and 3.2).

1.3.6 The Children Act No. 8 of 2001Provides for non-discrimination of children and underscores children’s rights as paramount. This policy is grounded on the principles of non-discrimination and human rights.

Page 15: EDUCATION SECTOR POLICY ON PEACE EDUCATION

1313

1.3.7 International treaties and conventionsKenya is a signatory to several international treaties and conventions, which support the creation of sustainable peace. The peace education policy is linked to provisions in

• the UN Charter (1945)

• the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (1948)

• the Convention Eliminating all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)

• the African Charter on Human and Political Rights.

• The Convention on the Rights of the Child

• The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

• Geneva Conventions

• World Programme for Human Rights Education (2005-ongoing)

• UNESCO Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Cooperation and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1974)

1.3.8 Other policy and legal documentsThis policy makes reference to other policy and legal documents. These are contained in the Annex I of this Policy.

1.4 ScopeThis policy provides an institutional framework for coordination, management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of peace education in the sector. It is applicable in Basic Education, Alternative Provision of Basic Education and Training and tertiary levels of education. It also provides guidelines for inter-sectoral collaboration and partnership building with other stakeholders to promote peace and harmonious coexistence in the society through learning institutions.

1.5 Policy Goal The goal of this Policy is to promote and nurture a culture of peace and appreciation for diversity in the Kenyan society through education and training.

Page 16: EDUCATION SECTOR POLICY ON PEACE EDUCATION

1414

1.6 Policy ObjectivesThis policy:

• provides a framework for effective implementation of peace education in the education sector.

• provides guidelines for mainstreaming peace education into curricula at all levels of education; in teaching and learning processes and materials; in education and professional development of education personnel; and in the learning environment.

• proposes strategies for enhancing pro-active measures for conflict prevention and mitigation.

• provides a framework for coordination, collaboration, partnerships and networking among players in peace building through education.

• facilitates regular research and promote evidence-based monitoring and evaluation of peace education initiatives in the sector.

1.7 Outcomes of this PolicyBuilding on best practices, the policy will therefore ensure that peace education in Kenya is:

• embedded in the education and training policy and planning,• reinforced in each year of schooling,• supported by pre-service and continuing in-service training of teachers, • developed and sustained in collaboration with stakeholders, including counties

and the local communities,• informed by feedback from monitoring and evaluation processes,

SECTION 2: GUIDING PRINCIPLESThe following section presents the principles that will guide peace building initiatives in the education and training sector.

2.1 Proactive and preventive The education sector has a fundamental role in building and nurturing a culture of peace. The sector shall put in place mechanisms for equipping education officials, members of learning institutions and the community at large with knowledge, skills, attitudes and values for preventing violent conflicts and for promoting peace. This will enhance their capacity to discern early warning signs of violent conflicts and take proactive prevention measures. Peace education will employ participatory, interactive, experiential and transformative teaching approaches that enhance the learner’s ability to internalize knowledge, values, skills and attitudes for proactive peace action.

2.2 Appreciation for diversityThe education and training sector recognizes that the diversity of the Kenyan population is a resource for socio-economic development and a part of the country’s heritage. In this regard, education managers, administrators, teachers, parents, learners and other stakeholders shall endeavor to foster peaceful co-existence and unity through respect for diversity.

2.3 Cohesion and integrationThe national values and principles of governance as stipulated in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the National Cohesion and Integration Act 2008, the National Cohesion and Integration (Amendment) Bill 2012 and other relevant policy and legal instruments form the basis for developing a cohesive and integrated Kenyan society. These values and principles include patriotism, democracy and participation of the people, human dignity, equity, social justice, inclusiveness, equality, human rights, non-discrimination, good governance, integrity, transparency, accountability and sustainable development. Peace education will reinforce the acquisition and development of these principles and values.

2.4 Respect for human rightsIn recognition of both values and principles of human rights and fundamental freedoms as enshrined in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the education and

Page 18: EDUCATION SECTOR POLICY ON PEACE EDUCATION

1616

training sector shall foster respect for human dignity, sanctity of human life and care for one another. Education and training systems and settings should be organized in a way that not only provides knowledge about human rights and the mechanisms to protect them, but also creates a human rights friendly environment that nurtures the skills needed to promote, defend and apply human rights in daily life so that the citizenry can achieve its full potential.

2.5 Environmental Sustainability Human beings play a central role in environmental conservation as well as degradation of ecosystems. The education sector promotes appreciation and care for the environment and for sustainable development. The Peace Education Programme shall integrate activities that foster environmental conservation awareness and encourage actions for wise use and conservation of life-sustaining natural resources. This shall be done through creating synergies between Peace Education and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), reversing the loss of environmental resources.

2.6 Inclusiveness and ParticipationThis principle acknowledges the role of participation of all stakeholders and consultation in promoting healthy interactions and cohesiveness within the learning institutions as well as the community at large. Members of the school community will embrace the principle of participation and consultation in all undertakings. In addition, all stakeholders will constantly be engaged in decision making regarding the implementation of the Peace Education. The Ministry will also strive to reduce the “gender gap” in educational and training opportunities, and achievement, for boys and girls, women and men.

2.7 IntegrityOne of the national goals of education in Kenya is to promote sound moral and religious values such as truthfulness, honesty, responsibility and accountability, among others. It is expected that peace education will reinforce the acquisition and application of these core values.

2.8 Coordination, partnerships and collaborationThe education and training sector recognizes the significant role played by other actors in peace building. MoEST will coordinate, and seek to forge new partnerships and

Page 19: EDUCATION SECTOR POLICY ON PEACE EDUCATION

1717

collaboration with, the various actors in peace building through education and training. This will create synergies and minimize duplication in the implementation of the Peace Education Programme.

2.9 Conflict sensitivityConflict analysis provides the foundation for conflict sensitive programming by understanding the interaction between an intervention and the context, and acting in a manner that avoids negative impacts and maximizes positive impacts. Education and training may be perceived as a tool for ideological development, for economic development and societal mobility, and a means by which social and cultural values are transmitted and which may convey negative stereotypes or encourage attitudes that explicitly or implicitly condone violence or generate conflict.

MoEST will therefore develop or review policies as well as plan, implement, monitor and evaluate education and training interventions in a conflict-sensitive and participatory manner, guided by the principles of transparency, accountability, timeliness, inclusiveness, impartiality, complementarity and coherence, and through partnership and co-ordination.

and international peace days• Work with the local and international media & faith based organizations in

creating awareness about the role of the sector in promoting peace through education and training.

• Reach out to the community members with peace messages

4.5 Monitoring and EvaluationMoEST will undertake regular monitoring of peace initiatives through education and training. This policy advocates for the adaptation of existing Monitoring and Evalua-tions systems to include formats and indicators for monitoring peace education

4.6 Implementation Framework (See Annex 2)The implementation framework contained in this policy includes benchmark indicators that will monitor progress in the policy’s implementation, in terms of expected outputs or achievements within agreed time frames. A mid-term review will be conducted to evaluate the level of implementation of the policy. This will provide an opportunity to review the challenges and key issues faced during the initial period and make any appropriate adjustments. In addition, periodical evaluation reports should be produced to keep the MoEST abreast with the progress made in implementing the peace educa-tion.

4.6 Policy Review This policy will be reviewed from time to time to ensure that it remains relevant.
