Civic Education
Civic Education is an important component of education that
cultivates citizens to participate in the public life of a democracy, to use
their rights and to discharge their responsibilities with the necessary
knowledge and skills. It was immediately recognized that a free society must
ultimately depend on its citizens, and that the way to infuse the people with
the necessary qualities is through education.
As one step of this education process, higher education has
been assuming the mission to foster citizens with the spirit to lead. The
literature on this contribution, and civic education in general, is
characterized by its broad time range, its composition of diverse voices from
all kinds of participating social units (from individual to government), and
the existence of rich international and comparative studies.
