Abstract	Educating for peace is essential for students and teachers not only to understand the basis of aggression and conflict but also to independently resolve such situations in non-violent ways and hence, influence the behaviours anticipated for a peaceful society. The article 4 of the UN resolution 53/423 also proclaimed the need to promote peace education at each level. However, teachers are not likely to achieve the objectives so desired if they have not been trained in peace education. This paper examines the training needs of primary school teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to teach peace. By drawing on questionnaire, interviews and focus group data, the article reflects on consistent training of teachers about peace education concept and methodology to support them achieve the desired objectives. The research article identifies sensitisation workshops, revision of teacher training programmes and availability of peace education module on the provincial education website, beneficial for this purpose.
