शोध सार- In contemporary society, rapid globalization, technological advancement, and socio-political conflicts have created a need to strengthen the ethical and humanitarian foundations of education. Peace education, moral education, and value education are three interconnected pedagogical domains that aim to nurture responsible, empathetic, and ethically conscious citizens. Peace education emphasizes conflict resolution, harmony, and non-violence; moral education cultivates ethical reasoning and integrity; and value education instills respect, tolerance, and compassion. Their interrelationship lies in their shared goal of human development and social harmony, where peace acts as the outcome, morality as the guiding principle, and values as the foundation. This paper explores their convergence, highlighting their importance in shaping contemporary education systems, reducing violence, fostering intercultural understanding, and ensuring sustainable societal development.
