Democracy and Education

Viac o knihe

The necessity of education arises from the contrast between the immaturity of newborn members of a social group and the maturity of its adults, who hold essential knowledge and customs. Without education, immature members cannot acquire the skills and interests necessary for the group's survival, leading to its decline. As civilization advances, the disparity between the abilities of the young and the expectations of the mature grows, making deliberate educational efforts crucial for fostering awareness and engagement in the group's values and practices.
