Democracy And Education

The key to democracy is education that promotes criticism, self-edication, and constant growth. Since life is best lived as growth and democracy is the best way to deal with the constant changes that all societies face, and education that helps children love learning and change is essential to a democractic society. Education is the major concern of all nations sicne it is the foundation of the entire superstructure of education and is directly related with success of democracy. In its goal to bring people closer together, education has to do more than to enocurage people to adopt the common values of their past. Education must also be able to provide an answer to why and for what we live together.
