In what ways is education a victim, perpetrator, liberator and/or peacebuilder in your context?

There are four circumstances mentioned in this context.

1. Victim
2. Perpetrator
3. Liberator
4. Peacebuilder

I have encountered those situations of 4. I studied in Myanmar for over 10 years. I rethought that the education system in Myanmar is systematically destroyed by majority group or military dictatorship. The lesson I was taught is just non-qualified education no have thinking skills. To provide a clear example, I would say that the history part taught in Myanmar. Everything they draw in curriculum is about the Myanmar king express how they control well to the others and how they are brave. On the other side, they mention other ethnic group as rebellions. That is why most students learn history in public school in Myanmar think that ethnic diverse group are very aggressive for Myanmar. That is why changing educational system to the bad way can destroy the perspective of students as Perpetrators.

Victim ( studying during conflict and crisis) mostly happen in minority group and majority group

Liberator ( freedom of religion, speech, the instructions mentioned in Bill of Right )

Peacebuilder ( Peace training)
