‘Basically’: JUTC worker: “It nuh mek no difference, nobody nah think bout peace, it becomes a diploma for the dead. Friends dem a war on the same peace day for no reason at all.” |

Yanique: "No matter what people do there is still violence in the country. Peace day does not really makes a difference. It’s just an holiday, which people celebrate but they don’t really mean it.” |

Uhrena Student : “I say no, because people are still killing each other in Jamaica.” |
|
| Evan Williams: JUTC worker “Peace day makes a difference in schools, as the children look forward to it and try not to create any conflict on that day. However, in the garrison or ghetto, it does not make a difference.” |
