The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-SE), formerly known as the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMIP), is a non-profit organization that monitors the content of school textbooks.[3] It examines school curricula worldwide, especially throughout the Middle East, to determine whether the material conforms to international standards and is teaching recognition and acceptance of the 'Other'.[4] The organization believes that education should be utilized to encourage tolerance, pluralism and democracy, and promote peaceful means of solving conflicts.[3]
In October 2011, IMPACT-SE opposed the recognition of Palestine at UNESCO, arguing that the Palestinian Authority does not meet the organization's recommendations for becoming a full member.[5]
Scope and impact
The organization analyzes Israeli, Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, Syrian, Egyptian, Tunisian, and Iranian textbooks.[3] The organization has published reports relating to the understanding of terror,[6][page needed] the role of religion in schools,[7][page needed][8][page needed] as well as on the "indoctrination" of children in Iran.[9][10]
Methodology
The organization analyzes textbooks according to the following criteria:[11]
- "Is the data given accurate and complete?"
- "Are illustrations, maps, and graphs up-to-date and accurate?"
- "Are the achievements of others recognized?"
- "Are equal standards applied?"
- "Are political disputes presented objectively and honestly?"
- "Is wording likely to create prejudice, misapprehension, and conflict?"
- "Are the ideals of freedom, dignity, and fraternity being promoted?"
- "Are the following needs being emphasized: international cooperation, elaboration of common human ideals, advancement of the cause of peace, and enforcement of the law?"
- "How are other peoples, religions, and communities perceived? Are they recognized, accepted as equal, and respected? Or are they presented in a stereotyped and prejudiced way?"
- "Does education foster peace? Does it support a peace process? Is there room for improvement?"
According to the organization's website, criteria one through eight were recommended by UNESCO experts.[11]
