Civic education is the education that everyone born in this country has the right to receive, such as compulsory education before minors, and vocational and technical education, secondary education and higher education after that. Education is not only to impart knowledge and skills, but also to cultivate individual thinking ability, creativity, social ability, moral concept and civic responsibility.
There are many levels and contents of citizens' education, including basic education, vocational education, higher education and lifelong learning. Basic education is usually compulsory and aims to provide a comprehensive educational foundation, including knowledge of language, mathematics, science, history, culture and social skills. Vocational education aims to cultivate the skills and knowledge needed for a specific occupation to meet the needs of the job market. Higher education provides more in-depth and professional learning opportunities and cultivates research, innovation and leadership abilities.
Through education, citizens can broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge reserves, develop their personal potential, and have better ability to judge and solve problems. Education also helps to cultivate citizens' sense of social responsibility, respect others' ideas and diversity, and their ability to actively participate in social and political affairs. Therefore, civic education is regarded as a basic right and an important part of social development.
