Based on my experiences, I have experienced that most education in camps go as " Education as a Liberator" because the education curricula that almost every school uses focused more on the survival skills. Especially for the refugees, education plays as a vital role of the survial rather than peacebuilder, predator of violence, or victim of conflict. Nevertheless, there are also an indirect lessons or ways that support an education as a victim or perpetrator in a few places. As I could see, education as a peacebuilder is what we need in camps along Thai-Myanmar boarder because this Peace Education can change students' perspective, and help them see diverse people in a proper way. Education can be used as a positive or negative target. One main reason why education can be the target is that education focused on children and youth who can be taught or convinced, and sometimes they can even be brainwashed. In this situation, teachers play an important role as they can promote peacebuilding in the classroom by guiding the students to be capable to see things from different perspective, and use and teach a non-violence communication among students. With small actions that promote Peacebuilding Education, a teacher can help her students to become a peacemaker or demostrate students that it is a right way to prefer peace rather than conflicts and violence.
