Pakistan has been facing challenges of extremism and terrorism from the last two decades. It is important to find roots of extremism and violence in the society to formulate policies to combat the situation. Studies have shown that peace education plays vital role in bringing peace and harmony in the society. For this purpose it is important to review the existing curriculum in higher education institutions and to assess the need of addition of peace education in the curriculum. It is worth noting to study the curriculum of MS/M. Phil.
