Researchers develop two tools for data collection: A Test for Knowledge of Peace Education (TKPE) and a Scale for Peace Attitude (SPA). Five themes of peace education were selected to developed the TKPE and SPA, i.e. peace, conflict resolution, human rights, social justice, cultural diversity. A Test for Knowledge of Peace Education (TKPE) was developed by reviewing the literature. This objective type test comprised 25 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). The attitude scale consisted of 80 statements related to the themes of peace education. Reliability of TKPE was insured by applying Kuder Richardson 21. The value of Kuder Richardson 21 was 72.1. The reliability of SPA was insured by applying Cronbach Alpha. The value of Cronbach Alpha was 91.2. Peace Education Intervention (PEI) was prepared. Two groups of prospective teachers were selected as control and experimental group for experiment. PEI was given for one semester to prospective teachers. Prospective teachers take keen interest in the peace education lectures. Data collected through pretest and posttest measure was analyzed by applying descriptive statistics and ANCOVA. The findings of study shows that the peace education intervention remained successful in achieving its objectives.
