FROM STRIKES TO SOLUTIONS

Fostering Peace and Success in Schools

by Joshua Owande · Education / Peace & Conflict · ISBN 9789914352955

School strikes and everyday disputes disrupt learning, strain relationships, and affect entire communities. Drawing on international examples, this practical guide examines their causes and social, psychological, and economic costs before exploring approaches to prevention and resolution. Open communication, mediation, restorative practices, and inclusive decision-making form the basis of its approach, supported by student leadership, educator training, and community partnerships. For educators, administrators, policymakers, and families, it offers strategies for sustaining peaceful learning environments through shared responsibility, ongoing evaluation, and adaptation.
