Promoting Student's Awareness about Peace Education at University Level through Active Citizenship Program
This current paper investigated the perceptions and views of university students of the Active Citizenship Program at the BS level. Public sector universities that were offering a course of active citizenship program according to purposive sampling and were five in number. By using the Purposive sampling technique, 150 students of the 4th semesters, 75 participants and 75 non-participants of the Active Citizenship Program and were made part of the study. SPSS was used to analyze the quantitative data, and for the purpose of finding different independent t-test was applied between the responses of the participants and non-participants of the program. The result indicated that awareness programs/ courses related to peace education helped students to get awareness. The present program and course have contributed towards developing awareness with respect to knowledge and in fostering peace education skills but did not have a huge impact on the attitudes of participants about peace.
