Abstract

This study delves into the intricate landscape of fostering a peaceful culture within higher education institutions in Pakistan. Against the backdrop of societal tensions and global challenges, the focus lies on understanding the multifaceted barriers and opportunities in cultivating an environment conducive to peace within these academic settings. This study navigates the complex terrain of fostering a culture of peace within higher education institutions in Pakistan. Employing a straightforward and random sampling method, colleges and a sample of sixty teachers, along with eight department heads from various universities, were selected for analysis The responses provided by these individuals were then subjected to thematic analysis using the ATLAS. to approach. The challenging themes that were chosen for analysis were derived from both quantitative and qualitative data. These themes include pressure group and peer group dynamics, cultural barriers, lack of awareness about peace, and injustice, the role of social media, and the absence of communication skills in the educational curriculum. These issues are currently hindering the progress towards establishing a culture of peace within universities. The discovery also suggests that there are enough chances within university education to foster the advancement of sustainable peace. Institutions had many challenges, such as limited resources and a lack of support systems for administering law and order within their premises. The participants of this study were motivated to contribute to the advancement of a culture of peace inside their institutions, with the aim of bolstering the stability and progress of Pakistan. The present study explores the concept of transformation within the context of peace culture in the field of teacher education. It aims to shed light on the challenges faced by universities in promoting a peaceful culture through teacher education programs.
