Summary/Abstract: Freedom of Conscience as a Foundation for Education. This article focuses specifically on investigating how conscience develops throughout an individual’s life, taking into account the intervention of education and studying how this process unfolds. The aim of this article is to understand how children’s freedom of conscience develops throughout their education, how their environment influences this, and how religious instruction in school might affect children’s freedom of conscience. The possession of conscience is inherent in human beings, and this is a primary and unique characteristic that differentiates them from animals. Also, as human beings, we are masters of our own ethical structure and have the right to a free personal conscience.
