Abstract:
This research analyzes the role played by educational institutions in the municipality of Sabanalarga, Atlántico, in the processes of political literacy and civic education among young people. The study emerges from concerns about local political apathy and low youth participation, factors that reveal limitations in the development of critical citizenship. The analysis is grounded in approaches oriented towards political literacy. The structure of the work first addresses the socioeconomic foundations that shape political formation, then examines the impact of regulations and public policies, and finally explores the educational actions implemented by schools to promote civic and political learning.
