A science-based and objective attitude should be developed among the students so that they are not stuck in old customs, beliefs etc.● Democracy can never succeed without clarity of thought, freedom of speech and writing. Therefore, secondary education should create an environment for free discussion and exchange of ideas among students and for the development of healthy public opinion through speech and writing.
● Democracy exists on the basis of the dignity and values of every person. Therefore, the full development of the personality of every person should be the goal of education in a democratic country. Therefore, education should meet every need of the individual, such as psychological, social, emotional and practical.
