In a landmark study, Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) joined forces to explore the transformative power of education in developing peaceful societies. The research, underpinned by regression analyses, examined the correlation between educational outcomes and peace indices. The findings were clear: better education leads to less conflict and an increase in peace.

The study’s implications are profound, suggesting that improved education outcomes not only contribute to higher levels of positive peace but also mitigate the adverse effects of disengaged youth on societal harmony. This research paves the way for future studies into the role of education in diverse contexts, with the potential to inform policy and practice on a global scale.
