Compassionate Citizenship and Education
Overview & Synopsis
Education in South Africa primarily focuses on educating learners to be responsible citizens. The "Values in Education" initiative of the Department of Education (2001) aims in the first instance at cultivating in learners the capacity to deliberate respectfully with one another in order to become responsible citizens. This article argues that deliberation and respect are necessary but not sufficient conditions to foster a sense of responsible citizenship. Learners also need to be taught to develop the quality that Nussbaum (2001) refers to as "compassionate citizenship".
