political education
Learning about governance
Political education is instruction aimed at shaping citizens' understanding of government, civic duties, or ideological principles.
The term ranges from neutral civics courses to deliberate indoctrination: The regime made political education mandatory in schools.
In activist contexts, it means consciousness-raising about systems of power: The reading group served as political education for new organizers.
