Most of these universities are in Mindanao, understandably because most of the war issues are in Mindanao,&#8221; CHED Commissioner Ronald Adamat said.<\/p>\n<p>Adamat added that he has been advocating peace education among SUC presidents, and emphasized that a CHED memorandum needs to be crafted and approved so that all SUCs would integrate peace education in the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Adamat told the Philippine News Agency that non-government organization Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) has approached CHED for partnership in the program.<\/p>\n<p>HWPL described itself as an NGO that &#8220;aims to transcend differences in culture, belief and religion by engaging leaders and youth in sustainable and comprehensive solutions for peace&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>CHED and HWPL signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) Tuesday afternoon in Quezon City, to further promote peace education in the country. Adamat said that as a partner, HWPL could suggest activities and strategies to CHED.<\/p>\n<p>After the MOA signing at the CHED office, the two held a peace lecture at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Sta. Mesa Manila.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Adamat said he could not give a timeline for peace education integration, as this would need to be done &#8220;in a very calculative way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed out that peace education may not be compulsory but an elective subject.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is planning to integrate peace education in the curriculum of state universities and &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":148465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[15595,23424,44487,13116],"class_list":["post-148459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-commission-on-higher-education","tag-curriculum","tag-peace-education","tag-state-universities-and-colleges","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
