Policy Brief » Role of Primary Education in a Tolerant Society
By Punjab Economic Research Institute (PERI)
This brief focuses on the role of primary education and parental influence in fostering tolerance within society. It examines how early education is fundamental for character-building, yet highlights that many school curriculums lack essential components to develop tolerant behaviors in children. The brief further discusses how an overburdened, outdated curriculum fails to meet students’ emotional needs, resulting in a neglect of values like tolerance. Additionally, it explores the diminishing emphasis parents place on teaching tolerance, which, combined with educational gaps, contributes to growing societal intolerance over time.
