State. It was a survey study. Population for the study was made up of Home
economics lecturers and students, senior staff of Ministry of Women Affairs
and Youth Development, and teachers in public secondary schools in the area
of study. A 4-point questionnaire was used for data collection. Mean was used
to analyze the research question data, while Analysis of Variance was used to
test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Forty two objectives were
identified for peace education curriculum. Findings on the hypothesis showed
that there is no significant difference in the mean responses of the
