While at the level of behavior or action, mostly they behave moderately. And there are significant differences in how tolerant behavior they are more likely to be externally tolerant than internally. The approach used in this writing is a qualitative approach, with the main method also qualitative with literature studies through various reference sources, both from journals, books, official websites, and so on. The results showed that the Peace Education Program in reality can be a medium to encourage everyone's commitment to the urgency of peace through efforts to increase trust as people who care and are even willing to be agents of peace to be taught to students and students. They are the future successors of the nation, so they need to be informed earlier and more intensely about the importance of upholding the values of peace and social justice, the hope of a future without conflict to create a harmonious life. The number of violence, conflict, terror, and various social ills is due to the weak spirit of mutual help (ta'awun), tasamuh (tolerance), and takaful intimacy (mutual responsibility) between others. Spiritual dhikr in the practice of worship that is increasingly luxurious, has not been balanced with socio-cultural dhikr in the form of mutual tolerance, togetherness, and mutual strengthening of each other among the nation's children. And this is the essence of education that needs to be continuously updated toward advanced education.</p> 2023-04-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 American Journal of Universal Studies https://ajous.us/index.php/pub/article/view/2 Management of Academic Services In Building Student Satisfaction In Private E-Learning Media Management To Improve The Quality of Mathematics Learning At Private Universities 2023-04-18T06:54:52+00:00 Lia Saniah [email protected] Iim Wasliman [email protected] Hanafiah Hanafiah [email protected] Deti Rostini [email protected] <div><span lang="EN-US">This study aims to describe and analyze e-learning media management to improve the quality of mathematics learning in private universities.
