.I was interested in using HLM, reading scores/literacy rates, and other country variables.
Hi Giovanna, I'd suggest taking a look at the international Journal of Peace Education as a start. Your question is quite broad. You can find educational research in countries across the globe.
I agree with Jeannie lum response Relationship between.peace in country and educational outcome is ver y broad ressearch area, you may find reviews in journals of peace education and then proceed.
The are also many studies that show links between socio-economics and educational outcomes and countries at peace tend to have more stable socio-economic structures, so I would think (hope) that peace brings higher educational outcomes. You may may also wish to consider what you mean by the term 'peace'. Do you mean 'not in conflict with other states' or do you mean 'not at conflict with other states and no major internal turmoil'? You may also wish to contact Oxford Network of Peace Studies: http://cis.politics.ox.ac.uk/research/Projects/oxpeace.asp
I found this article that could probably help. I live in a country where violence has been used by leftist groups. On the other hand, not providing quality education by the Colombian government does not allow people to think critically in terms of education quality and inequality.

Excellent question. I have not seen research covering the question per se, but I have lived the consequences of that relation in Lebanon. As Dean of the faculty of business and economics in a university whose students belong to the medium-low income social class and by observing how students perform when a crisis hits Lebanon (which is an ongoing exercise), students are affected directly to the extent that withdrawal from courses become more salient observation in order to avoid failure.
We could compare notes and possibly initiate a formal research to come out with statistically valid evidence to what I said.

By the way a colleague of mine had published two paper on Peace and Peace education in Lebanon. Check her out, her name is Ghada Chehimi.
I agree with Dr. Hejase. There seems to be a correlation between educational outcomes at the undergrad/grad levels and the peace situation in a country. I wonder if it is the same at the high school level. I believe that we can easily conduct research in Lebanon about the topic.
Yes: I am working on Prenatal Educatio. Please look at the following link: http://www.fondazioneomraam.org/UK/education-begins-before-birth.html
Hi Giovanna
I am interested to know if you got what you looking for. Any specific questions you are addressing?
PEACE AND PLEACE
Makes me first think at ‘War and Peace’ of Dostoevsly.
Peace has not much content when it doesn’t evoke its antagonist Without war and fight it smells vegetarian.
Peace for me is a blossom tree, fragile, inactive but beautiful.
That’s why it is today not much attractive, ‘action movies’ are in, whatever the content and so the children get confronted with violence as the normal, as even the norm.
And so the feminine principle is banned from the theatre and the masculine principle dominates the scene.
Because people sell it and children play with it.
On the political level also the feminine side is not developed even by women.
On the contrary in art we see many artist as androgynous, this is very positive because the both sides are explored, intuition as well as the strength and authority is infused with creativity.
The published article of H.G. Callaway ‘Semantic contextualism and scientific pluralism’ sounds very interesting, now we must deal with multiplicity.
The specialisation has reach the platform, we must see what kind of combination can be found to keep the church in the middle.
Spinning this thread we need a lot of intuition, creativity, consciousness and a paradigm of semantic multiplicity in which peace is not the contrary of war but high standard culture in which all kinds of different ideas can come to the consensus for the best of mankind.
If you are interested I can provide you with some comprehensive regarding peace education in the Palestinian and Israeli education systems as well as with some other relevant materials/
