Education in the Two Different Worlds

This exploration by Patricia Chacon and Tarun Mendoza contrasts education systems in democratic and communist societies. It highlights democracy’s foundational belief in “government of the people” with a focus on public education and equal opportunity. In contrast, it examines the communist approach where education serves ideological purposes, producing compliant citizens. The authors present data on societal structures, economic conditions, and civil rights, emphasizing how education shapes youth's roles in distinct political landscapes. The findings offer vital insights into the broader implications of education in shaping society.
