Summary/Abstract: Education, as a form of social control, has also become a key instrument in guiding social development, serving as the foundation for all transformations within society. As the creator of norms and values that it both establishes and modifies, education carries the inherent risk that global experiences may sometimes spiral beyond control. It is clear that every society, and every individual, is shaped by the education they have received education that should empower individuals to ascend to higher levels of personal and social development. Moreover, education should foster social connections among individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and value systems. Today, education faces significant challenges and must address a dilemma that often seems insurmountable. On one hand, it is criticized for contributing to various forms of exclusion; on the other, it is expected to cultivate common ground within society. Ultimately, its highest goal is to provide every individual with the opportunity to actively participate in society with full awareness and responsibility a goal achievable only within a democratic framework.
