Education is a key factor in promoting peace from "summary" of The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker

Education plays a pivotal role in the promotion of peace. When people are educated, they become more open-minded, tolerant, and empathetic towards others. Education helps individuals understand different perspectives, appreciate diversity, and foster mutual respect. By learning about different cultures, traditions, and beliefs, individuals are more likely to embrace peace and harmony. Furthermore, education equips individuals with critical thinking skills and the ability to analyze situations rationally. This helps in avoiding conflicts and finding peaceful solutions to disputes. Education also instills values such as cooperation, compassion, and understanding, which are essential for maintaining peaceful relationships. Moreover, educated individuals are more likely to reject violence as a means of resolving conflicts. They are aware of the consequences of war and violence and strive for peaceful resolutions through dialogue and negotiation. Education promotes the idea of peaceful coexistence and encourages individuals to work towards building a harmonious society. In addition, education empowers individuals to challenge prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination. By learning about the injustices and atrocities of the past, individuals are motivated to stand up against violence and oppression. Education cultivates a sense of social responsibility and encourages individuals to advocate for peace and justice.
