Civic education

Civic education is a necessity for all students, but recently because of our global economy and the United States falling to their competition. There has been a massively increased investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education (STEM) but a sacrifice in the humanities and social sciences. If the education system keeps focusing on vocational education instead of civic education, society is not going to know what human values are. Education’s purpose is to inform the public

QUESTION: WHAT ROLE DOES THE MEDIA PLAY IN PUBLIC CIVIC EDUCATION? “Civic Education in a democracy is education in self-government that is essential to sustain our constitutional democracy” (Branson, 1998).
