Oct 17Oct 1725 Lessons Learnt on Education and Democracy
Democracy and human rights are not a gift of nature. Their underlying values are to be instilled to future generations. This is the unwritten clause in the assignment of the teaching profession globally. Pedagogy and didactic methods imbued with democratic values should inform all teaching, irrespective of the subject. This is a formidable challenge, particularly in non-democratic countries, where sometimes educators are required to pursue ideological or religious objectives set by the state; but also in countries where school systems are expected to first and foremost serve the needs of markets and the economy educating future consumers, leaving educators little time or space to contribute to the development of responsible citizens. Educating for democracy requires that educators are properly trained, qualified and that they enjoy the professional freedom needed to carry out that task.
