Has forgiveness education in schools been researched and found fruitful?

Yes, forgiveness education has been researched over 20 times in different cultures of the world with both children and adolescents.  The research shows that children can learn about what forgiveness is; they can learn to forgive those who acted unfairly; and they can reduce their anger toward those who were unfair.  Here is a reference to a study that examined these forgiveness education programs worldwide:
