Abstract

The rise and continuance of a nation and a state requires the systematic work of educating every generation. This role should be played by civic education, which starts in the parental home, and continues at school, but which is also the task of the authorities. True civic education is free from politics and ideology. An important role in civic education is played by symbols which express the duties of every citizen towards the nation and the state. National symbols, which strengthen the sense of citizenship, should inform daily life, and the authorities should carry out a policy of education through symbols which denote the culture, traditions, customs, and history of a given nation.
