This report serves as a baseline study for UNRCPD’s peace and disarmament education (PDE) project and identifies further needs that can be addressed by the programme in the future. During May and June 2014, UNRCPD, together with the Comparative Education Society of Nepal (CESON), surveyed 1,000 students from 25 schools in five districts to assess children’s ways of dealing with conflict and violence. The goal was to create a baseline against which UNRCPD would be able to measure the future impact of its PDE teaching materials and projects. To complete this cycle, UNRCPD plans to carry out a follow-up survey in 2015 to assess the impact of the current project.
Ten years after the end of the civil conflict, its consequences are still being felt, and violence in Nepal’s government schools is widespread. The findings of the survey show that although students have developed different mechanisms to deal with conflict, non-violent approaches still need to be taught to manage conflict for both students and teachers. Crucially, preliminary findings also indicate that peace and disarmament education delivered in schools under the national curriculum would be a very effective way to address the pervasiveness of violence.
