The Relationshp Between Education and Democracy in the Federal Republic of Germany

Abstract

In all democratic states and societies there exists a specific relationship between education and democracy. The role of the educational system within a democracy should be to preserve and promote the democratic elements and principles which already exist within the system. This is dependent upon specific democratic goals, aims, and methods in the education system. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss exactly how the education system in the Federal Republic of Germany perpetuates the existing form of democracy.
