Abstract	This study reviews Ethiopia's efforts, experiences, and achievements with respect to developing education for international understanding over the past two decades in response to the United Nations recognition of the role education plays in promoting peace. It is an overture aimed at sharing ideas and experiences with all concerned for the promotion of peace and international understanding at home and abroad. It is possible to teach international understanding by emphasizing the removal of the sources of violence, conflict, and misunderstandings, the old patterns, and in their place creating a conducive environment for teaching peace and understanding by introducing new patterns. The spirit of education for international understanding urges people to appreciate their differences and to search and identify the common thread that ties them together enabling them to live and interact peacefully. This investigation consulted textbooks and curriculum only. Most of the books were from social studies, language, and civics classes at the primary and secondary school level. Ethiopia has made a great effort to advance international understanding and peace. Ethiopia has mediated internal conflicts between sister African countries of Sudan, Somalia, Morocco, and the Saharawi Republic (former Spanish Sahara). Ethiopia incorporates its foreign policy principles into the social studies curriculum. National objectives for international understanding are discussed, as are ways that Ethiopian society, business, and government support and promote peace and international cooperation.
