Abstract	Recent policy on education in con? ict argues that it is important to include education in peace agreements to promote peace after violence. However, little is known about the effects of such inclusion on peace or how such provisions would be implemented in classrooms. This chapter looks at their implementation in textbooks, using the case of Burundi's social science textbooks from years 7 to 9. Burundi's Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement (APRA) mentions education 24 times- far exceeding any other African peace agreement from 1975 to 2017. The APRA has explicit mandates to address educational causes of violence including clauses for peace, national unity, democracy, ethnic tolerance, and human rights education. Through a content analysis applying the IREC framework and exploring active/passive approaches to con? ict and peace, I? nd that education alternates between serving as a transformer of, and accomplice to, violence in these books. I argue that while the textbooks do address several clauses in the peace agreement, they also provide contradictory messages relating to peace building after violence. This contradictory nature is indicative of larger trends in implementation of peace agreement clauses and highlights the need for greater speci? city and implementation plans post-agreement.
