Catholic Church Advocates Inclusion Of Peace Education In School Curriculum In Taraba
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

By Saidu Adamu

The Catholic Diocese of Wukari, Taraba State has called on the Taraba State governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas to include peace education in school curriculum at all levels as part of lasting measures to tackle the violence and insecurity across the state.

This cal was contained in a communique issued at the end of the Second General Assembly of the Diocese held in Wukari.

The communique was signed by Bishop Mark Nzukwein and Rev. Fr Simon Akurega, Chancellor and Secretary of the Diocese respectively.

The communique noted that the prevailing security challenges especially in the Southern part of Taraba are obvious consequences of ignorance which can be addressed through strategic education and dialogue.

The diocese insists that “Christians, Muslims and adherents of the African Traditional Religion in Taraba State should establish inter faith peace committees to discuss and resolve conflicts.

“Community base peace initiative involving traditional rulers, youths and stakeholders in forms of peace campaigns, town hall meetings and workshops will go a long way in promoting unity and peaceful coexistence,” it stated.

The communique further stated that : “The government should ensure justice and equitable access to resources by all in the state as a way of addressing some of the root causes of conflicts.

“In this regard, the government should ensure the return and resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to their homes and provide adequate security for them.”

Addressing the issue of Catholic Schools taken over by the government, the communique urged Governor Kefas to return the schools to the Church as the original aim of setting up such schools is defeated if they are not managed by the Church in a way that incorporates moral discipline and academic excellence.

“In the pursuit of educational excellence, Catholic schools in Taraba State exemplify models of quality education that combines academic rigour with holistic development.

“These schools foster nurturing environment that emphasize moral values, critical thinking, and community engagement.

“By juxtaposing faith-based principles with contemporary educational practices, Catholic schools do not only prepare students for academic success but also cultivate responsible and compassionate citizens.

“Our commitment to inclusivity and character formation serves as a benchmark for educational standards in the State, inspiring a collaborative approach to learning that benefits the broader community.

“We advocate integral formation that emphasizes moral formation and academic excellence in all schools in Taraba State.

“As a result of the take-over of Catholic Schools by the Government, the initiatives of the Church were stifled, and the quality of education in Nigeria suffered setbacks.

“The numerous problems affecting Taraba State, especially Southern Taraba are very obvious : ignorance, insecurity, poverty, discrimination, to mention but a few.

“We cannot confront these challenges without investing in the provision of quality education.

“While the Church remains a religious institution, it, however, exists in the world that is secular in nature and should by nature of its human feature, enjoy the support of government.

“In Taraba State, the Church and State should collaborate in providing quality educational services to the people.

“We therefore call on the government to return schools taken over from the Church as we also call on her to support the Church by upgrading and sustaining facilities in our schools, knowing that those attending these schools are also citizens of the State.”

The communique further noted that the diocese has witnessed progress in the course of its two years of erection, including ordination of Priests, creation of new Deanery and Pastoral Areas as well as celebration of Second year anniversary and Silver Jubilee of Two Priests of the Diocese.
