The article questions whether the National Government of Colombia genuinely seeks to resolve the conflict surrounding historical memory without resorting to violence. This inquiry stems from the Ministry of Education National’s proposed curriculum guidelines for social sciences in preschool, basic, and secondary education. Specifically, the curriculum's fifth axis, addressing armed conflict, historical memory, and peacebuilding, begins with the question of whether a solution is possible. The piece, published on *La Silla Vacía*, implicitly challenges the government’s approach to addressing sensitive issues related to Colombia’s past conflicts and memorialization efforts. It suggests a skepticism about the commitment to non-violent solutions within this framework. The article’s focus remains on the government's intentions and the initial framing of the educational approach to these complex topics.
