Abstract
Education plays a crucial role in the development of students’ political knowledge, civic values, and sense of social responsibility. This study aims to examine how education contributes to political socialization and civic development. The study employs a qualitative approach based on a literature review and thematic analysis of previous studies. The findings indicate that civic education, teachers, the school environment, peer influence, and digital literacy significantly shape students’ political attitudes and civic participation. The study concludes that education remains an essential instrument for fostering informed, responsible, and active citizens in contemporary society.
