Motivation, Segregation, and Responsibility: The Challenges in Our Way to Grow Equal Citizens in a Democracy

Abstract

AbstractDemocratic education prepares students to live in a democratic society: a community of equal citizens who have rights and an impact on the public sphere. A democratic public school provides students with a sense of ownership and responsibility over the country, develops understanding and empathy towards the other, and convinces its students of their power to influence the reality in their society.
