Juvenile Education

Juvenile Education refers to the formal and informal processes of teaching and learning directed at young individuals, typically under the age of 18, to promote intellectual, social, and emotional development. It encompasses various educational settings, including schools, community programs, and correctional facilities. Juvenile education aims to provide knowledge, life skills, and values to prepare youth for adulthood and societal participation. In sociology, juvenile education is studied to explore its role in addressing social inequalities, fostering upward mobility, and shaping cultural and moral norms. The quality and accessibility of juvenile education often reflect broader systemic issues, such as economic disparity, racial inequities, and policy priorities. Sociologists analyze how juvenile education impacts identity formation, socialization, and the reproduction or disruption of social hierarchies.
