W kierunku modelu edukacji obywatelskiej. O uwikłaniu i współzależności demokracji, polityki i edukacji

The author points out the obvious deficiencies in contemporary democracy, which do not support the creation of active citizenship and do not disseminate the value of its nucleus. The lack of citizenship education at schools is treated as a result of disinterest among political circles and parties in involving society in the process of governance and controlling of the country. Unstable democracy and low level of legitimization for this regime cause many dangerous and unpredictable social behaviors, including increase of antidemocratic attitudes, passivity, apathy and hostility against minorities. The debate on appropriate model of our democracy and education is necessary. Especially education should play a crucial role in supporting and consolidating the political system.
