                         FOREWORD 
        
       The Educational Policy Research Series is intended to document and disseminate our 
       research into a wider community of educators and educationists.  
        
       The Education for Peace Initiative (EPI) hosts Prajnya’s pedagogically oriented projects. 
       The mandate of the Education for Peace Initiative is to teach peace by fostering the learning 
       of skills conducive to communication, healing, reconciliation and interaction between 
       people with divergent interests and creating capacity for the resolution of conflict and the 
       creation of a sustainable peace. But educational interventions, however perfectly planned, 
       will not work unless they are informed by an understanding of the structure, functioning, 
       culture, specific needs and context of a given school system. Educational policy research is 
       also essential to ensure that our peace work is not isolated from other educational 
       challenges and that we can engage in a sustained way with issues and debates in the field.   
        
       About this project  
       Starting in August 2008, with grant support from the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Prajnya 
       commissioned three studies, preparatory to the launch of its Education for Peace Initiative. 
       These studies were intended to prepare the ground for its cornerstone project, Teaching 
       Peace and to form the basis for its future engagement with educational policy issues in 
       specific contexts. Three questions form the terms of reference for the studies:  
         1. Who makes educational policy and how is it implemented in Tamil Nadu?  
         2. Who engages with education and in particular, with peace and conflict resolution 
           education?  
         3. How do we implement the peace education guidelines in the National Curriculum 
           Framework prepared by NCERT?  
       The first study from this project was published in this series in April 2009, Mapping 
       Educational Policy Structures and Processes in Tamil Nadu. The second study, A Survey of Civil 
       Society Peace Education Programmes in South Asia, was published in August 2009.  
       About this study 
       Crafting the perfect pedagogical intervention is futile without a clear understanding of the 
       structure, methods, contexts and specific needs of a given system. This study by 
       Priyadarshini Rajagopalan takes the National Curriculum Framework and its guidelines on 
       peace education as its point of departure, reads the textbooks currently in use in a majority 
       of Tamil Nadu schools as its lens on what is being taught to children, and articulates the 
       ideas behind Prajnya’s Education for Peace Initiative, outlining a plan for Prajnya’s own 
       interventions in this area.
