Abstract

Abstract Purpose – This paper aims to explain the concept of post-conflict peace education that has been implemented in East Aceh. Design/Methodology/Approach – This research used the qualitative method where data were gathered by deep interview and study of documents. Findings – The results show that the Aceh government education agency has not yet developed a standarized concept of peace education to be implemented throught out the schools in East Aceh. However, non-governmental agencies both national and international have stepped ahead and implemented it in formal and non-formal educational institutions. UNICEF and AusAID had facilitated the preparation of a peace education textbook which was written by academicians at UIN Ar-Raniry in 2005. It has been applied to many schools in East Aceh by incorporating peace education in to Aqidah Akhlak subject. Research Limitations/Implications – The paper does not examine students’ understanding of peace education that can be learnt by incorporating concepts of peace education. Practical Implications – The concept of peace education is feasible to be adopted at whole senior high school in Aceh. Originality/Value – This paper offers a new concept of peace education, the liberal peace, religious peace, and traditional values that have been integrated in one subject to be taught at once.
