| Abstract | This study explores the integration of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) within teacher education programs in Botswana and Zambia, with a focus on its potential to foster peace, social cohesion, and sustainable development. Grounded in the principles of transformative education, the research conducts a comparative analysis of national curricula, policy frameworks, and teacher training practices in both countries. Using a qualitative approach, data were gathered through document analysis and key informant interviews with teacher educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers. The findings reveal both commonalities and context-specific challenges in the implementation of GCE, including limited pedagogical training, inadequate policy alignment, and gaps in teacher capacity development. Despite these challenges, promising practices such as community-based learning and values-oriented instruction, demonstrate the potential of GCE to empower teachers as agents of peace and global responsibility. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for enhancing teacher education programs through cross-country collaboration, curriculum reform, and sustained investment in peace-oriented pedagogies. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to localize global educational goals and strengthen education systems for more just and inclusive societies. Keywords: Global Citizenship Education (GCE), Teacher Education, Peace and Social Cohesion, Sustainable Development, Curriculum Reform. |
