CommitteeⅣ Modernization and education of young people 14/15-18/24

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

From a bird's eye view it has been outlined for industrialized as well as for developing countries, which factors are regarded as most important for their modernization and how an 'ethic for survival' may help to safeguard that modernization will not get out of hand but be socially well acceptable.
Against this background it became quite obvious that today's education is hardly in line with the demands for 'individual' and 'social modernity', and that even an adequate deucation hardly facilitates the situation of the young, if they do not find opportunities to be integrated in the adult world by employment.
Finally it has been sketched, that education needs a reorientation in view of the modern developments: in fact an education for self-development, employment, for the environment and the world. Furthermore it has been examplefied, how structural changes of the educational systems can support such a reorientation and how integrative studies─as a media, family and global education─particularly encourage a well balanced development of‘individual’and‘social modernity’.
