Prof. Naveh describes politics as a public arena in which people actively participate, and in his opinion, it should also have a place in schools. For various reasons, schools do not take part in political discourse and as a result, a generation has grown up with an aversion to politics. Naveh adds that people's daily experiences and exposure to corruption and belligerence make them feel even more hostile to politics. Reactions to this grim situation vary and Prof. Naveh points out two types of behavior, which he considers dangerous. The first is avoidance or indifference – "don't bother me; it has nothing to do with me; I would rather focus on myself." A second point of view, which is no less dangerous, is the yearning for a powerful leader to take control and set things straight. Both serve as a foundation for anti-politics and erode the public's commitment to democracy. It is, therefore, imperative to introduce Political and Civil Studies into the education system.
Naveh points out two major problems in the education system. The first is extreme capitalism – our society measures, rates and compares everything, including how we compare to the others, and in the process, forgets the students themselves. Teachers are unable to devote more than a few minutes a week to discussions with their students because of the urgency of covering the material, and in this situation, the intensity of the evaluation schedules and the competition is insane. This reflects our tendency to embrace the principles of our economy, which measures everything according to quantitative output. These measures should not apply in the field of education. The appropriate measures of achievement in school should relate to the well-being of the students in terms of pleasure, efficiency and morality. Upon completing their education, students must ask themselves whether they have become better human beings as a result of their education, which should be the ultimate goal of any education system.
The second major problem in the education system is the lack of ethical orientation that was created by our post-modern world in which there is no ethical criteria for right and wrong, where everything is permitted. The education system has lost its direction. Unsure of its goals and purposes, it has taken the easy and familiar route – measurements and ratings. This situation has produced miserable people and has prevented the possibility of achieving a meaningful civil and political educational vision. Naveh adds: "I long for the day when people understand that we must make serious structural changes. I cannot reverse the post-modern reality, but I will try to restrain it – I cannot reverse quantifiable capitalism, but I will try to point out its consequences and the high toll
