Educating for Democracy

Educating for democracy involves teaching students critical thinking, civic responsibility, and an understanding of how democratic systems work. It aims to prepare individuals to participate actively, ethically, and knowledgeably in democratic society—such as voting, community engagement, and respectful dialogue. This approach emphasizes developing not just academic skills but also values like tolerance, cooperation, and justice, ensuring citizens can contribute meaningfully to the health and vitality of democratic institutions and practices.
