Abstract

This paper describes and presents the findings of a case study research on how primary school teachers build peace in schools through African traditional values. The study was conducted between September 2005 and January 2006 in Kariobangi and Korogocho in Nairobi, Kenya and sixty primary school teachers participated in the study. The overall picture generated by this research is that peace building through African traditional values cannot be underrated and should be a crucial way forward in all levels of learning in Kenya. A narrow conception of traditional African values and its importance in peace building by teachers could be responsible for the increase of violence in schools and society in general.
