Peace education was established in Colombia as mandatory from Law 1732 of 2014, a regulation, which determined that this type of education would be adopted from the implementation and development of the “Chair of Peace,” a subject through which the State seeks to ensure the creation and strengthening of the culture of peace from school, being the objective of this study: the identification of features, strengths, and pitfalls of such an establishment, from teachers' standpoint. This research was carried out under the case study strategy, evaluative type, with a non-probabilistic sample of critical cases.
From the analysis of the results, immaturity was determined in the institutional functioning for the establishment of this type of education, difficulties were found in the style of curricular management, in pedagogical management, and teaching action in the classroom, among other factors predictive of quality in the provision of an educational service; findings reflected in the perception of non-compliance in the application of the precept, the lack of a philosophy of peace education, gaps in the implementation, development and articulation of peace education based on the guidelines or orientations suggested for its effective management, and dissatisfaction with respect to professional development opportunities from the processes of continuous training for educators on this issue.
