Addressing Social Issues Through Education: A Review of Policies and Practices

Abstract

This paper explores the role of education in addressing complex social issues, including injustice, discrimination, and climate change. By analyzing educational policies and practices in various institutions, the study aims to understand how education can serve as a tool to raise social awareness and facilitate collective action among students. The methods used include qualitative studies, interviews with educators and students, and analysis of relevant policy documents. The results show that the integration of social issues in the curriculum not only improves students' understanding but also encourages their active involvement in social initiatives, thus forming a generation that cares more about the environment and society.
