Preparing teachers for conflict-affected classrooms is a global urgency that receives too little attention. Most teachers enter their classrooms unprepared to deal with conflict-related tensions, sociopsychological well-being and trauma. In the DRC, several Teacher Training Institutes have developed and implemented a teacher training module on conflict resolution, education in emergencies and trauma-sensitive pedagogy. Teachers stressed that they need practical strategies to address conflict in their classrooms and the everyday violence they witness among students.
