CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM
Peace, as a concept is primarily concerned with the creation and maintenance of a just order in society. Maill (2000) conceived peace as the absence of war, respect and tolerance between people in the society. In other words, there should be harmony, tranquility or wholeness in the organization of a system in the sphere of institutional management.
Galtung (1990; 1996) classified peace into negative and positive and positive aspect. According to the study, when peace is said to be negative, it means that the peace in existence include the absence of crisis, strikes, war, fear and direct violence in individual and at institutional level particular in the Federal College of Education, Osiele. On the hand when peace is positive, It means that there is peace in existence, and it indicates absence of unjust structure, unequal relationship, justice and inner peace at the individual and society levels. This is the real or complete peace that will be addressed in this paper, since it includes both the absence of war (Direct violence) and absence of unjust structures (Indirect violence).
