In our world of unceasing turmoil, an educated citizenry is the
first and strongest line of defence for democratic renewal.
Educating for Democracy shows how students can prepare for the
responsibilities of 'the most important office in a democracy' -
that of a citizen. Education can provide students with the
dispositions and skills needed to exercise their role judiciously
and responsibly, as a patriot who cares about democracy and as a
custodian who cares for democracy. These two aspects of caring call
for curriculum-wide reform. The outcome of this reform is a patriot
who serves as custodian of democratic culture, where commitment and
competence, heart and mind, love and intellect, are brought
together for the sake of democratic renewal. While nations, as both
instruments and proximal objects of care, have an important role to
play in this renewal, the ultimate aim is the care and cultivation
of a democratic culture.
