Description

"An important aspect of fostering democracy through education is teaching for social justice; translating into an education in civic ethics with the responsibility to promote both economic justice and the equitable distribution of political power within society. Such an education seeks to develop in students (1) a sense of ethical responsibility to fellow citizens; (2) empowerment to act; and (3) knowledge to act wisely."
