The role of education in shapingdemocracy and peace especially in ongoing conflict context is pivotal, meanwhile there is paucity of research especiallyin areas of conflict in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (Njobati, 2021, p. 25; Burde et al., 2017, p. 620; Bajaj, 2015, p. 1–2;Krogull, Scheunpflug Opara Bajaj, 2015, p. 1–2; Krogull et al., 2014, pp. 17–72),do not feature in the pedagogical understanding of schools.
