Education as an Instrument for Achieving Social Justice and Good Governance

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to alert educators and education stake holders to the viability of using education as an instrument for achieving social justice and good governance. The paper, utilising the literature review methodology, begins by highlighting the relationship between social justice and good governance and proceeds to examine the instrumental value of education. The paper further draws on current literacy on education, social justice and good governance to show how education may effectively be used to propagate the ideals of social justice and promote good governance.
