Education At The Intersection Between Tradition And Modernization

Summary/Abstract: The present article deals with the importance of vision on the aspects of the traditional and the modern, seen through the prism of education and the changes that occur in that area. The paper presents some experiences from Macedonia gathered as part of the project Foundation of Democracy, which was implemented through the Ministry of Education, Pedagogical Institute of Macedonia (now Bureau for Educational Development) and its partner institution Catholic Relief Services - CRS, as an international non - government humanitarian organization working in Macedonia since 1992. The aim was to raise children to live in a democratic society, and to build positions in terms of self-discipline, moral responsibility, empathy, participation in public affairs, decision making and conflict resolution, both in their public and in private lives. Changes in the educational process are inevitable. But also, it is necessary to consistently comply with the respective culture and tradition and make a substantial connection between what is traditional and what is modern. The traditional may not be completely neglected because of a wave called "modernization", or what is modern should be avoided due to the blind consistency everything traditional. One should always make essential connections that will bring greater prosperity and get results.
