- Abstract
- Empowering Students for Just Societies: A Handbook for Primary School Teachers foregrounds the role of primary education in nurturing democratic, inclusive and equitable societies. The handbook positions the classroom not merely as a site of academic learning but as a formative social space where children first encounter diversity, fairness, rights, and responsibilities. It argues that values such as empathy, mutual respect, cooperation, and critical thinking must be cultivated from early childhood in order to build socially aware and ethically responsible citizens.
