Civics Education: More Than Just a Subject!

Civic Education is not just a compulsory subject, but a life lesson that shapes students into intelligent, responsible individuals with strong character. One of its most important aspects is understanding the balance between rights and responsibilities.

For 12th-grade students, this topic becomes even more relevant. They are about to face major decisions—whether to pursue higher education, enter the workforce, or start their own business. By understanding rights and responsibilities, they learn to weigh what they deserve while also recognizing the duties they must fulfill.

To deepen this understanding, students are assigned individual presentations, such as explaining their rights and responsibilities when entering the workplace. Through these activities, they not only learn theory but also develop critical thinking, communication skills, and social awareness.

In this way, Civic Education becomes truly meaningful, as it directly connects to the real-life challenges and opportunities students will encounter after graduation.
